Listening Service



Well, at last we were able to get some peace of mind from the trauma we experienced while giving birth to Liam! The hosital has what they call a 'Listening Service'. It's a number you phone and then a midwife come and see you and talk through your birth experience. She comes armed with the notes file and after listening to our experience she spoke us through all the written notes. That did go a long way to help with the inner healing process. She also referred us to the Matron and we went to see her at the hosital. The matron clarified some things further for us and also explained that they rated my condition as 'amber' which means that Liam was to be delivered within an hour and a half. If they believed my condition was life threatening, they would've rated me as red and Liam would've been delivered via general anaesthetic within an half hour. This knowledge seem to put Gav's mind at ease. I think we can finally put the trauma during birth behind us now and move forward!
