I came into the WHBC on April 11th 2012, it was extremely busy but luckily we got a room and a beautiful one at that, it is a wonderful atomsphere, calming, relaxing, clean, and comfortable! I was looked after by 3 different midwives because of how busy the unit was, and at one point by a head midwife who wasn't meant to be on duty! The midwives were caring and supportive and I wouldn't change a thing. Towards the end of the birth there was a slight complication and the midwife quickly called another midwife in to help, I was given an episiotomy and baby was delivered happy and healthy.. The only negative feedback is that I was left quite a while between the birth and having my stitches which meant I had to go back onto gas+air pain releif after I had calmed down and relaxed after the birth, but I understand it was an exceptionally busy day. After we had had a rest, a shower and some food, they checked me and baby and we left just 8hours after the birth.. Absolutely perfect, spent our first night at home with my daughter! I also love the 'no visitors' policy. Means you have some time to rest + recupperate without friends+family coming in! Thank you WHBC for the wonderful experience and if goes well I will be having my next baby there!! :-)
