Cumberland Infirmary Births

Fortunately my pregnancy was healthy with no complications and my midwife was great, sometimes I had to see another midwife due to staffing and AL but they were all lovely and supportive.

I gave birth at the Cumberland Infirmary, my birth was traumatic, my little girl was back to back, I was having 7 contractions every 10 mins at 4cm dilated, and she had pooped inside me so her heart rate was up and down and almost had an emergency c-section (had episiotomy with ventous instead). I had a doctor, lead midwife, my midwife and a student midwife in while I pushed my baby out and they were all amazing before and after! I felt so cared for with no complaints🥰 and would happily give birth there again 🤍

I had a planned C-section & my little boy did have some complications breathing. Midwives were supportive & kept us up to date with information.

We were in SCBU for 8 days & we were able to stay in the family suite. Lots of support from the nurses & midwives, they doted on our little one & showed us lots of things that we would've had to learn by ourselves had we gone home straight away.
