"The surgical and ward teams were fantastic"

About: Aberdeen Maternity Hospital / Obstetrics (Maternity care)

(as the patient),

I was booked in for an elective c section earlier this month. My experience was fantastic. Both the surgical and Ashgrove ward teams were incredible - so warm, supportive and encouraging. They turned an experience I was quite fearful of, into a very special time for all of our family. From the warm welcome we received from both the Ashgrove and the surgical team, to the anaesthetist's banter to keep us distracted during the procedure, we were made to feel so at ease. The staff at Ashgrove ward were fantastic when it came to helping me through the early stages of recovery and breastfeeding. I couldn't have asked for more support. The staff turned a much dreaded time into a beautiful memorable experience. I can't thank them enough! Even the food was delicious: )

Congratulations on the birth of your baby. It's a very exciting time for you and your family, but as you said can also be quite a fearful time too. I am delighted to hear of your very positive experience and will pass on your feedback to the teams involved, who work very hard caring for women, babies and their families.

It's very kind of you to take the time to provide feedback of your experience when I'm sure you will be super busy being a new Mum.

I hope you and your family are thoroughly enjoying your new addition and wish you all the very best for the future.

Jayne
