All of the midwives I've seen since my initial appointment have been lovely, professional, yet friendly, real and compassionate. Sadly, I've never seen the same midwife twice, but I feel totally fine about it, as they've all been great, and have all been honest. I understand they are under enormous amounts of pressure, but I feel like they all deal with it amazingly well, and never let this get in the way of great care and patient experience. The only thing that I've found difficult so far in my pregnancy is being classed as a 'late booker', because the midwife who was off sick wasn't able to get me booked in for a timely 12 week scan, which has resulted in me being referred to a consultant for induction if baby hasn't made an appearance by the due date. Other than that, everything has gone smoothly, and my partner and I now feel as prepared as we possibly can at this stage to approach labour and birth (we think!) Thank you to the wonderful NHS for making this process really special for us both so far x
