Real life stories from Mount Carmel: Lynne Finn, nervous first time mum
I cannot say enough for the wonderful midwives who were with me and my husband during the labour and birth, Geraldine & Mary were so kind and supportive and really made a very nervous first time Mum feel so at ease.
I had so many fears and anxieties about labour and birth but for me it ended up as a very positive and dare I say enjoyable experience! They also made my husband feel very much involved which was really important to me as I had heard so many stories of husbands feeling like a bit of a "spare" but for is us it was the very opposite.
Dr Nugent who delivered Emily made me feel very calm and it so lovely to see her genuinely thrilled when Emily was born, even though I'm sure she had already delivered several babies that week. Emily and I were so well looked after during our 2 night stay by a wonderful team. I’d like to give a special mention to Maeve Anne, the lactation consultant who was so helpful and supportive during our breast feeding difficulties. The room was very comfortable and facilities excellent, the food was really good and catering staff could not have been nicer. I would highly recommend Mount Carmel to all and would love to return there someday for a little brother or sister for Emily who we adore.
