I had the pleasure of having Sadie and Makayla as my midwives who were an absolute dream. They were reassuring, kind, compassionate and supportive from the beginning until the end of their shift. I was gutted they couldn’t stay to deliver the baby as they had been there from the beginning and I built trust in them. It’s a breath of fresh air having such lovely midwives. When the hand over happened I was given another 2 lovely midwives Walter and Tara. They delivered my baby and were very supportive and reassuring also. Very pleased with the care received.

Suggested improvements
I had my waters popped and was contracting here and there but towards the end of the 2-4 hour period I was contracting more intense. I felt though I might have been more than 2cm dilated considering the pain I was experiencing and I wanted to be examined before being put on the hormone drip but the doctors disregarded my wish to have a vaginal examination to see how many centimetres and just put me straight onto the hormone drip. I feel though patients wishes are not met.
