Hi the above says it all really. My community midwife was fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a more kind, bubbly, thoughtful and caring midwife. I had six miscarriages before I had dd in march and it was the first time I got as far as meeting the midwife. However I had been referred to her in the past just had to cancel it. This time she sent my letter out as late as possible for my booking in appointment to save me having to cancel it if anything went wrong. That was so thoughtful before she even met me! She gave fantastic advice, gave me as much time as I needed at appointments, was very reassuring and was so approachable, I could ask her anything and not feel stupid or embarrassed even when I rang her up panicking at 36 weeks when I had been asleep on the sofa and woke up with one eye a bit bleary and wa convinced I had pre eclampsia. She rang the post natal ward to ask how I was doing and did more home visits than strictly needed when we got home. I cried at her last visit as wouldn't see her anymore.
Talking to the other mums at my local baby group they all think the same. No one has a bad word against her,I would love to nominate her for the midwife of the year awards but don't know where or how. Does anyone know?
Thanks
