Our Daughter was born 31/12/25. We cannot thank all the staff enough, in particular Andrea who couldnt of offered any more support than she did. My Wife was induced and was in the maternity ward in total for 5 days. I suffer with ADHD and was so overwhelmed with everything around me. Andrea took the time and supported both my Wife and I, ensuring we were both ok. Our journey in the maternity ward ended up with my Wife having a planned C-section. Whilst in theatre the staff made sure we were both ok, talking to us step by step. Andrea took many pictures for us, and we couldnt be more happy and confident whilst we were being looked after. We would love to have Andrea look after us in the future.

Our birth story

We arrived at pilgrim early morning on 10th January 2026. This was baby number 4 and I wish I had chosen pilgrim for my other children, our experience and care was by far the best 👏🏻 we are so grateful for the support of the midwives throughout our labour. We had opted for a waterbirth and were so excited! Upon arrival we were shown into the birthing pool room and we were taken away by it. It was all so relaxing and beautiful with the lights and candles 😊 so magic! Labour seemed to slow a little but once my waters broke in the pool there was no stopping babies arrival! Unfortunately once the head was born, babies shoulder got stuck and the emergency buzzer was pressed. The room filled with with midwives and I was taken out of the pool so they could pop babies shoulder and deliver. We didnt know the gender of the baby and have 3 boys so the ending was supposed to be super exciting but ended up being quite scary! The staff were incredible and acted so quickly. Shortly after I got out of the pool our little Princess Frankie entered the world with the amazing help from a lady called Izzy! 🥰 . The complications didnt stop there as my placenta then wouldnt deliver but midwife Hannah and another young midwife stayed with me for what felt like forever cleaning around and helping me whilst my husband fed baby girl!

Regardless of the birth trauma and little ladies dramatic entrance i simply can not thank the team that were on that day enough. You made sure our little girl and me were safe, you were so kind and caring, we could not have asked for anymore 💖 we are forever grateful for your help in completed our family 💖

We returned home the following evening for her to be showered with so much love from her 3 big brothers 😊.

Frankie Princess Newton, born at pilgrim hospital Boston on 10/01/2026.

I gave birth to my little boy on the 7th of December 2025, and I truly had the most magical birth experience from start to finish. I arrived on the labour ward and was initially greeted by Francis, who made me feel instantly at ease. Shortly after, Francis’ shift ended and there was a changeover to the night staff.
I was then introduced to my midwives, Jess and Avril. Avril was a student midwife, but you would never have known this due to her incredible knowledge and confidence. Not long after being examined, I was straight into the birthing pool. From that moment on, I felt completely at ease and fully in control. Jess and Avril listened carefully to my wishes, talked me through all of my options, and attended to my needs without hesitation throughout my labour.
I had my partner and mum with me as birthing partners, and they were consistently offered drinks and snacks during the experience. Both of them have since commented on how lovely the experience was for them and how amazing Jess and Avril were.
My baby boy, Oscar, entered the world at 11:36pm on the 7th of December 2025. If it hadn’t been for Jess and Avril’s constant words of encouragement, support, and genuine empathy, I don’t believe I would have got through labour the way I did.
I can confidently say that my labour experience was the most magical time of my life. I would love to thank all of the staff on Pilgrim Maternity Ward for being so welcoming and caring. However, a very special thank you goes to Jess and Avril, who will always hold a special place in my heart for being there during one of the most special, yet most vulnerable, times of my life. Both of them are truly made to be midwives, and I will be forever grateful to them.

We experienced the most amazing labour and birth of our little girl. She was born on her due date 1st July 2025. We opted for a home birth. I had my first child, a boy, in hospital after an induction (also a positive birth) but the birth of our little girl was so lovely and felt so special to take place in our home. The midwives were so supportive and not intrusive in anyway at all. The whole experience was so relaxing from start to finish. We had hired a birthing pool which we started to set up before the arrival of the midwives, they stayed on top of the water temperature, set up everything else that was needed and made sure that an anxious first time dad was also ok throughout. They listened to what we wanted and took a very hands off approach whilst still providing the best care. We couldn’t have asked for anything better and are so grateful for the midwives we got to experience this with and would definitely opt for a home birth again, I even said to my partner that “it all felt over too quickly” because it was so perfect.

Although giving birth can be a very anxious time for parents, this was so relaxed and I felt so intune with my body to give birth in the comfort and safety of my own home.

I’d love to say thanks to the maternity ward at pilgrim hospital as a first time mum and not knowing what’s going on it can be very daunting, but everyone took excellent care of me and my partner making sure we was both okay,
I’d like to say a special thanks to my midwife that was with me for the most part her name was Emma on the night shift and she was fantastic not only at her job with the care but with me and gave me a-lot comfort with how she was with me, she really is amazing at her job, there was a lady working with Emma as a trainee also I’m sorry I can’t remember her name but she was also fantastic 🥰✨

I had such an amazing and positive experience at Boston Pilgrim Labour and Maternity Ward. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed, supported, and looked after by every single midwife who cared for me. I honestly couldn’t fault the care I received.

I want to give a special mention to Debbie, who got me through my labour and was absolutely incredible. She spoke so calmly and reassuringly throughout, which made such a huge difference. Her kindness and steady presence kept me grounded and helped me feel safe and confident during what could have been such an overwhelming time.

I would also like to say how fantastic Mr Waboso was at delivering our baby girl safely. He made me feel so reassured and confident in his judgement, and I trusted him completely. His calm, professional manner and clear communication helped me feel at ease and in safe hands at such an important moment.

Throughout my whole pregnancy I was unbelievably worried and so scared of all the “what ifs,” but as soon as I got there, all of that anxiety melted away. I instantly felt at ease and knew I was in the best hands.

Our beautiful baby girl was due on Christmas Eve but decided to make an early appearance on the 20th – the most perfect early Christmas present we could have wished for. The whole experience was just so amazing from start to finish.

I am beyond grateful to the entire team at Boston Pilgrim. Thank you for making such a special moment in our lives even more beautiful. I genuinely cannot wait to have another baby and come back again one day.

just wanted to say a massive thank you to the amazing midwife’s i had during my labour! they made an experience which i was so scared to go through a more manageable and happy labour.
early hours of the morning on the 1st of august i went into labour with my little boy, within an hour he was here at 4:51am weighing 6lb 10oz.
i had the lovely Amy Spinks and Megan Grooby who helped me every step of the way and showed so much care towards me i couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
i was very fortunate to have the labour i dreamed off with just gas and air and i truly believe i wouldn’t of been able to do it without them.
they was so patient, kind and made me feel like i was the only patient there.
they deserve the world of thanks for how they made me feel!
thank you so much for bringing my little boy into the world safely and being there for my first step into motherhood 🩵
i am beyond grateful for you both!

I just want to say the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to Sarah Wilson, the most amazing midwife who helped me bring my first daughter, Isabella, into the world on 25/2/2025

From the very start, Sarah made me feel so comfortable — it honestly felt like I’d known her forever. She kept me smiling through the hardest moments and coached me through back-to-back contractions while I was on the hormone drip. When I started to panic, she knew exactly how to ground me and bring me back to earth. I genuinely don’t think I could have got through it without her.

My birth didn’t go to plan, and needing an emergency C-section at 10cm was heartbreaking and overwhelming. But Sarah was there, reassuring me, keeping me calm, and making sure I felt safe and cared for at a time when I really needed it. Her presence alone brought so much comfort.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me become a mother. Sarah was professional when she needed to be, but also fun, warm, and knew exactly when to crack a joke to get me through. She made one of the scariest and most emotional days of my life feel supported and safe.

We were also so happy and honoured to find out that Isabella’s birth was Sarah’s first birth as a fully qualified midwife. Knowing we shared such a special milestone together makes the experience even more meaningful, and I couldn’t be prouder that it was her.

Thank you, Sarah, for everything you did for me and for being such a special part of Isabella’s birth story. I will never forget you 🤍

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Sarah, the midwife who supported me through the birth of my daughter Clara on 31 December.
From the very beginning, Sarah showed incredible kindness, professionalism, and patience. She guided me through every stage of labour with reassurance and gentle confidence. Her ability to explain what was happening, her steady encouragement, and her genuine care made me feel supported and empowered throughout the entire experience.
What meant the most to me was how attentive and understanding she was. Sarah listened to my needs, respected my choices, and made sure I felt comfortable at every moment. She brought a sense of warmth and calm into the room that helped me stay focused and positive, even during the most intense moments.
Thanks to Sarah, the arrival of little Clara was filled with joy, safety, and love. I will always remember her compassion and the role she played in welcoming my daughter into the world. She is truly exceptional at what she does, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had her by my side.

I also want to say a heartfelt thank you to the whole team who helped us along the way. Every person we met showed genuine care, warmth, and dedication. From the encouragement during labour to the support afterward, each member played an important role in making our experience positive and comforting.

Thank you, Sarah — you helped turn a challenging day into a beautiful memory. ###
Marina& Baby Clara ❤️

Hi, I wanted to send a message about my wonderful experience when I gave birth to my son Arthur on Wednesday 26th November 2025 by emergency c section. Danni was my midwife and she was absolutely fantastic with student midwife Kate it was a scary experience but they made me feel so at ease and wonderful people the care they gave me was amazing and the maternity ward all the midwives and staff are absolutely fantastic. The care you receive is out of this world and I will be extremely grateful to each and every one of you. I had my complications with gestational diabetes and high blood pressure and was admitted a fair few times but each and every time the staff made me feel so comfortable and when you walk into maternity ward all staff remember you and have a chat it’s lovely atmosphere.
Thank you for my wonderful experience.
