"Just want to say a massive heartfelt thank you to the midwives who looked after me during my labour.

I arrived at the MLU around 2am, completely exhausted from a night of on and off contractions the night before.

Zoe and Anna took me into one of the lovely birthing rooms and made me feel so welcome. They helped me through contractions, empowered me and made me feel like I could definitely get through the labour! They were funny, chatty and genuinely cared about me. Their shift ended and 2 new midwives took over: Heather and Grace. They were both also amazing. They were so knowledgeable, kept my spirits high and helped me through more contractions, offering ideas like getting into certain positions, the birthing pool etc. They got me through the birth by empowering me, keeping me calm and finally telling me when to push!

I honestly dont think I could've gotten through the labour without these 4 fantastic people. They truly are a credit to the MLU and the NHS, I can't thank them enough! 🥰"

✨ Huge congratulations to Jess and her family on the arrival of their little one! Thank you for sharing your Midwifery-led Unit birth experience! It sounds magical ✨

💜 It is important to monitor your baby's movements throughout your pregnancy as a regular pattern is a reassuring sign of your baby's wellbeing
🚨 If you have concerns about your baby's movements, it is vital that you contact us immediately. It is NOT true that babies move less towards the end of pregnancy or in labour
📞 The Obstetric Assessment Unit at the University Hospital of Wales is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: 029 20744658 Please give us a call any time that you are worried or unsure!

💙 Responding to your baby's feeding needs (however you decide to feed!) is not just about providing nourishment but also about building a strong emotional bond. Whether you choose to breastfeed, formula-feed, or a combination of both, the key lies in being attentive to your baby's cues and being responsive to their needs. Here's why it matters:
🌱 Proper nourishment is vital for their growth and development. Babies have tiny tummies, and they need frequent feeds to thrive. Being responsive to their hunger signals ensures they get the nutrients they need to flourish.
🥰 Feeding time is a unique opportunity to connect with your little one. The eye contact, skin-to-skin contact, and gentle touch during feeds all contribute to creating a strong emotional bond between you and your baby.
🧠 When you respond promptly to your baby's hunger, they learn to trust that their needs will be met. This fosters a sense of security and comfort, knowing they can rely on their caregiver. Feeling secure is amazing for their healthy brain development!
🧸 There's no such thing as "spoiling" your baby with too much love and attention during feeding time. Trust your instincts, follow your baby's lead, and cherish these tender moments together!

"To the amazing staff in T2 who helped bring our son into the world,

From the bottom of our hearts we want to say thank you. The day our son was born was one of the best birth experiences we’ve had compared to our previous and we’ll never forget the kindness, care, and professionalism you all showed throughout the process.

Thank you to the doctors, midwives, anesthetists, and every member of the team who played a part not only for vour skill, but for vour compassion. You didn’t just help deliver our son you helped create a beautiful, peaceful beginning to his life and gave us memories we’ll cherish forever.

A special thanks to Farhan and Tirion, We are so deeply grateful for the work you do and the heart you put into it every single day. You will always hold a special place in our family’s story and birth experience.

With heartfelt appreciation and love, Liv, Josh, Ruben & Baby Oakley xx"
