Gift for midwife- weird?

[thesausagesmademedoit]

I had an excellent midwife in hospital post emcs- she really went the extra mile and I’d like to thank her. Usually I’d drop off some nice biscuits but I remover her dying she wasn’t able to eat chocolate etc, my mum suggested getting her a Red Cross gift - something like the maternity package for refugees at refugee camps, would that be totally weird?

Saying! Not dying. Ugh!

I think it sounds really thoughtful - truthfully though im sure she would be just as chuffed with a nice hand written card explaining how much it all meant to you

Maybe flowers, definitely a card and an email to her and her boss saying how wonderful she was.

As a retired midwife I can say a handwritten card would be enough. Congratulations on the birth of your little one.

Hahaha, when I had DS1 my soc 'nesting instinct' amounted to making several dozen chocolate rice crispy cakes. We took them with us and the nursing/midwifery staff were really quite pleased... I'm sure they'll be pleased with a gift of whatever sort; heaven knows they don't get enough recognition!

Lovely thought!

What about some nice smellies, especially hand and foot cream. Personalised cup or personalised fob watch.

Definitely a card with a personal message, especially if you say something specific about her care, and not just "thank you for everything" then she can use that for appraisals

As an ex midwife I have every single card that parents gave to me, some with a precious photo of me holding the baby or the parents with the baby. I treasure them.

We dropped a care box into neonatal after the twins came home having been looked after by them for 3 weeks.
Chocolate / biscuits / wine.

I think they are anti flowers in hospitals. Could be wrong! A card and cholocate/ smellies would be a lovely gesture.
