During pregnancy I was primarily looked after at this hospital, and found no problems what so ever. During this time I found the hospital consistently clean and well maintained. I used the restaurant numerous times and thoroughly enjoyed it. Towards the end of my pregnancy I had a fall, I was unsure of what to do so I called the maternity ward. They advised me to come in and saw me quickly and efficiently. When it came to giving birth to my son, I called them in the morning and they saw me shortly after. The midwives were attentive and caring for my needs. I unfortunately had to have an unpresitented emergency c-section, and the doctors, and midwives kept me calm during this, although I was completely petrified. After the c-section I stayed in hospital for a week. I only stayed on a 4 bed ward for one night, then for the rest of my stay in my own private room. The doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, and cleaning staff were absolutely fabulous during this time, and i'd reccomend this hospital to anyone.
