Kate was amazing throughout my post-natal birth and antenatal journey. Having had a few issues with my previous births and breastfeeding journeys, Kate made certain that she was fully aware and went above and beyond to reassure me and avoid these issues from reoccurring. For example, I spoke to Kate about how my previous c-section felt clinical and that I felt like a number with no familiar healthcare professionals. Kate swapped her shifts to ensure that she was our midwife at our son’s birth. This really meant a lot to me. I felt Kate knew our background journey and that we were in really safe hands. Kate was also aware of the feeding issues we had with our eldest son: namely latch and mastitis which led to sepsis. Kate diagnosed our son with a tongue tie before we even left the delivery suite which meant that we were able to quickly seek advice and treatment; our breastfeeding journey so far has been successful and I feel Kate’s support has been paramount to this. In addition, Kate made herself available for our day one newborn check so that we could see her instead of an unknown midwife at the planned clinic. I spoke to Kate prior to the newborn check and asked how I could retrieve personal belongings that I left behind at the hospital. Kate said that she would check whether they had been found; however, she went many steps further by retrieving our lost property from Torbay hospital and then bringing them to our newborn check at Newton Abbot Hospital. These actions could be perceived as small but they made me feel grateful and appreciative and gave me a ‘warm feeling’. Kate is a truly amazing devoted midwife and I feel so lucky to have been supported by her throughout our pregnancy journey.
