"Birth of my second child"

I was admitted for an elective C Section of my second child. I was very anxious about the C Section as I had had a traumatic experience with the birth of my first child (emergency C-Section with epidural being ineffective at numbing below my chest, my baby went into distress and a general anaesthetic had to be administered for delivery to proceed). 

My experience this time was amazing. I can not thank the staff enough for the way they made me feel at ease. Dr Maya was my anaesthetist who went above and beyond to reassure me that everything was going to be ok. She explained everything that was going on which help to temper my fear of a repeat of my last delivery. 

From recovery, I was transferred to ward 5. My stay there was brilliant. The midwives were extremely friendly and helpful. I would like to thank Jude, Sandie, Rebecca, Megan (student midwife) Kaye, Melissa and Kara for looking after me and my baby. 

I would also like to thank the staff in the Special Care Nursery for looking after my baby when they were unwell.
