“I had amazing care from the maternity ward in QEH, the amount of reassurance I got during my labour and after was amazing. I had a previous bad experience from another hospital first time round and I was so worried about this birth, as it would be a VBAC. The midwife’s on Brancaster were amazing, listening to me even though they were busy and then helping me through my labour giving me all the support by helping with what I asked for; music, blankets, support, warmth and then being there after birth. Reassuring me my baby was okay when I was worried, just making the experience so special and worth it. I had a few midwife’s, one was a student and others but I can’t remember their names but they were amazing!”

“I had my baby at QEH just over a week ago. The care myself and my family received from the get go was outstanding. My midwife at Maple Hub (Lydia Lay) went above and beyond to support us all and to answer our questions and we cannot speak more highly of the other incredible midwives we saw there as well. They were so informative, kind, caring and clearly passionate about their jobs. I had total faith and trust within them all and feel so lucky to have been under their care. I was very fortunate that my pregnancy came with minimal complications. However, my baby was measuring on the big side and I was encouraged to agree to an induction/c-section by consultants (who again, were all lovely and didn’t pressure me). The midwives I spoke to around still wishing to pursue a natural waterbirth fully supported me and made me feel so empowered and confident within my decisions. I went onto have a waterbirth on 25th June and it was the most amazing experience. Cat who supported me when I first arrived at the hospital and over the phone could not have been kinder (every time I contacted Triage I was made to feel listened to and valued, they were amazing). The wonderful midwives and students who supported us (Fliss, Sarah, Hannah and Trina) had total faith in me, making the environment as safe and relaxing as possible. I had the most amazing birth and cannot thank them all enough for being so supportive. Our beautiful baby girl (Betsy) arrived into this world safely due to the incredible work they all do. I will never be able to express my gratitude enough, but I will never forget how well cared for we’ve been and will be shouting about it to everyone who will listen”

“In 2024, I had my first child at QEH and was lucky enough to have a midwife called Kezia and a student midwife called Trina. Trina was only a first year but she was absolutely amazing and helped me get through my labour. She was supportive, kind, reassuring and she was also very supportive for my husband too. Kezia was so supportive as well and made me feel as calm as I could and reassured. I have now just recently had my second child, and I was lucky enough to have my community midwife, Kat and student midwife Trina deliver her too. I couldn’t have been happier with their care. Trina even remembered us after all this time! She was truly so amazing and the QEH are lucky to have her. She is an asset to midwifery. Kat is also just as amazing, she was so helpful throughout my pregnancy and I felt so much happier when I saw she would be assisting with my delivery”

“I had my first baby back in march having to be induced I was very nervous. I had numerous lovely midwives throughout my time on the ward. However I want to make a special note about Daisy and Hannah. Having met Daisy very briefly the day before she recognised me instantly. Daisy kept myself calm when things started to escalate and ensured I was safe and I should focus on her. I ended up having an emergency c section under general anaesthetic, Daisy again tried to help me remain calm due to a needle phobia. Daisy and Hannah ensured our babies gender was kept a secret from my partner until we were reunited back in recovery for us to find out together. I cannot explain how incredibly grateful I am to them both. They went above and beyond to ensure mine and my partners needs were paramount. Daisy and Hannah also ensured they had taken pictures of my daughter doing skin to skin and our first meeting. To ensure I could look back on them, I honestly wouldn’t have been able to remain so calm without Daisy. She came and checked up on us all the following morning before her next shift. The care I was shown by Daisy I will never forget”

“As a first time mummy going through this experience me and my partner couldn’t have honestly wished for a better team to look after us !. We both felt very well looked after and supported from start to finish. We would like to thank everyone who looked after us and wish the very best to the student midwives who are doing absolutely amazing and should be very proud as the ladies we met were exceptional! We would also like to say a massive thank you to the surgical team who made one of the most terrifying experiences one of the most relaxed! the atmosphere in that room was exceptional and we are eternally grateful for each and every one of you in the delivery of our beautiful baby boy 🩵xx”
