I recently went through a very difficult pregnancy termination for medical reasons as my baby was very unwell and the prognosis was not good. This was the hardest decision and day of my life. I was scared about what was going to happen to both me and my baby. I was scared of how I would be treated by the midwives and nurses I was scared about what I might witness and scared of the pain. Lauren was by my side throughout the process she treated me with the utmost respect compassion and care. She made both me and my husband feel looked after during the hardest experience of our lives. Once my baby had been delivered she treated them with such dignity and wrapped them up in a little bed she made sure my husband was able to see them as he wished whilst respecting my wishes not to. It helps me to heal knowing my baby was so beautifully cared for.

Unfortunately, I had some retained placenta and I lost a lot of blood. I went very dizzy and midwives and doctors rushed in to help. I was very dizzy and confused and do not remember much but I remember Lauren sitting by me telling me she was there holding my hand and telling me that I would be okay. I remember her voice at that moment she was exactly what I needed. Lauren stayed with me and held my hand when I then had a procedure to remove the placenta. I had gas and air to help with the pain and she spoke to me and helped me breathe and keep calm knowing how scared I was.

Lauren helped me countless times to clean myself up get changed make cups of tea and allay any fears and embarrassment I had. I am so thankful to Lauren for such genuine care during the most difficult and emotionally painful experience of my life. I could not have asked for anything more for both myself my husband and our baby. I want to thank her for being a ray of light during the most difficult time. I could not have gotten through it without her. Thank you, Lauren, for being an angel to me and our baby.
