St Peter’s Maternity Unit

St Peter’s Maternity is a lovely little Maternity unit in Shepton Mallet Somerset. This is where I attended all my appointment with the midwife and eventually had my daughter. The staff team is small which means you become familiar with all the members of staff. I really liked this, as it was not overwhelming like big wards. The ward is well equipped but any labours that are likely to be complicated or result in caesarean sections will not be possible at St Peters they just deal with natural births. There are a few rooms on the ward for new mums to stay with there babies after birth. I stayed in the hospital for 5 days after having my daughter as I caught a fever and was unwell. The ward is clean and tidy. There are actual separate rooms for the patients rather then cubical.
