Excellent care

I had a planned induction, due to reduced movements. Had a previous 'still born' baby, which was heart breaking as you can imagine. The service knew this and I had a dedicated 'rainbow' midwife who I could call and access whenever I needed some reassurance, questions, at any time of day/night. I was able to access extra scans too, for the reassurance too and they were timely. I accessed these twice, and they helped a great deal in settling down my anxiety. They looked after me so well and I was kept in for 5 days to help me get a good level of confidence up with my new born. Really could not have asked for a better experience in helping me through this tough time.
