Maternity Unit

Thank you to all of the staff in the maternity unit at Leicester General who cared for my daughter (baby boy was born by CS on 23.12.20), my daughter and son in law were full of praise for the staff on duty throughout their time on the unit. to quote my son in law 'there are some seriously talented people here'. You cared for them so well and I am so grateful and thankful to you all xx

If you’re a dad to be don’t expect to be able to go inside with your partner, don’t expect to go in the consultation room with your partner even if there are issues during pregnancy, every trip to maturity unit. I’ve had to wait outside and told I’d be called in but never was so my poor partner had to go in a consultation room on her own balling her eyes out while the consultant explained the situation, how you expect a distraught pregnant woman to understand everything without having someone else there by her side, but it’s absolutely fine the receptionist doesn’t wear a mask and spits everywhere as she talks the troll absolutely disgusted in this unit my partners 5 days over due and she’ll be having this baby at a diffident hospital where there partner or who they choose will be allowed to be present!

I had to have emergency c section and had a difficult time in hospital due to high blood pressure, from start to finish the midwives, doctors and students were all fantastic, I cannot thank them enough. My baby needed to be looked after in the baby ward and again the staff there were amazing. Everyone was more than happy to answer my partner and my questions, kind and supportive.

I have always had the best care. The staff are friendly, professional and work so hard. Thank you all

From pretty much the first 12 week scan. The nurses, doctors and midwives at LGH have been too drawer in the care of my wife and our baby nothing ever seemed too much hassle for them. My wife felt like she was being a nuisance when she had to buzz for a midwife/nurse within 5 minutes of one having seen her. The nurse/midwife said. It is what we are here you have had quite major surgery. (C section.)Everyone was so polite and friendly. One particular Midwife. A Mrs Ellis, I think her name was. She was just manifest. Being my wife's midwife in theatre and immediate aftercare. LGH. You are a credit to the maternity and midwifery world.

I just wanted to give a shout out to midwife Lydia, who was there from the start to the end of my labour and was there afterwards. An absolute credit to the hospital. All the other staff I encountered were also, friendly and caring. Especially the student midwife Faheema. There were some staff issues and on my last night, poor Lydia and another midwife were trying to run the antenatal and the postnatal ward, by themselves.

Best experience here having my son. All staff were friendly. Had to stay in a week after he was born and they gave me a side wing to ourselves. Highly recommended

I went to the assessment unit today for reduced movements at 31 weeks and everyone was so reassuring and friendly. My partner felt included and was allowed to stay with me at all times. Lovely staff.

Attended for a maternity scan. Both Rabia & Aiden were lovely and professional. Thank you very much for your care.
