Incredible Midwives

Generally the service is incredible. I had an early scare in the pregnancy and they were great and got me in quickly. I then had an emergency c section and the staff were all amazing but after the birth my baby stopped breathing and was rushed off to special care. I didn't get to see my baby and overnight I had no update on how they were either. The member of staff I had contact with overnight was most unhelpful, it was hard not knowing what was happening. When the shift changed a new midwife was incredible, she spoke to me and then got me an update, she was incredible.
