Diana Princess of Wales Hospital 2023-06-19 Person 4 5 0

Admitted to Honeysuckle for an elective c-section; something I was very apprehensive about. On attending, I was immediately out at ease by the midwife going to be taking care of me. Received a warm and friendly welcome and all my questions were answered in a kind and professional way. That midwife stuck with me throughout surgery and afterwards. The midwife asked me prior to the surgery if I had any worries - I said breastfeeding afterwards. Well! She certainly listened because afterwards she had such patience and care and compassion when trying to support me and my daughter breastfeed for those first few times. I thought I was going to be a nuisance but throughout I had reassurance that I wasn’t and I was doing great - just the ‘pick me up’ I needed. My pain was so well managed compared to my last c-section. The discharge checks were so thorough that I was reassured I was safe and healthy. I honestly could not recommended Honeysuckle ward enough, as every member of staff on there was just phenomenal.

The food was not particularly great. But there was plenty of it and I did not go hungry.
