Vikki seeing one of the Haven birthing rooms for low risk, no intervention deliveries, complete with birth pool and delivery chair. Director of midwifery Lorraine is explaining how much bigger these rooms are than when I delivered Molly in 2001

Vikki with Lorraine and daughter Molly who was born at St Mary’s in 2001 outside the soon to be closed building

great to visit St Mary’s Maternity Hospital Poole yesterday before it moves to brand new building in Bournemouth @uhdnhs.bsky.social
Talking to staff who were there when my daughter was born there, spaces barely changed but maternity is a wholly different service now, fascinating to learn more

Great to see you Vikki! Colleagues really appreciated the visit. Thanks very much for coming.
