"Birth of my 2nd baby"

For my second baby I was lucky enough to go through the MGP4/5/A, Chloe was my midwife and from my first meeting she made me feel comfortable, reassured and like there was no question or concern I couldn’t bring to her.

We went into this pregnancy with low expectations, given a high number of recurrent miscarriages in the previous year. Chloe was fantastic at getting me excited and focussed on all the positives, while at the same time talking me through possible warnings to look out for and always encouraging me phone or pop in if ever I was concerned.

Due to lowering of amniotic fluid, my c-section needed to be brought forward so unfortunately Chloe wasn’t at the delivery of our son, but this had been planned for and during my time with the program I had met other midwives so I was familiar with whoever was with me on the day.

Emma was the incredible midwife who helped bring our son into the world.

The follow up care I received from Chloe was fantastic. Again I felt so reassured but also very prepared in different symptoms and possible warning signs to look out for. I was so upset to say goodbye to Chloe but so happy with our time together and know that it’s time for her to go and help another lucky mummy to be.
