After a long and challenging labour, which last more than two days, Jubilee Pocket first-time mum, Fiona, has given birth to little Atticus Arlo Nooren.
Receiving incredible help and support during her stay in the maternity ward, Fiona has expressed her sincere gratitude for the care she received from the team at Proserpine Hospital.
She praised the work of the rural hospital’s doctors and theatre staff who were called in for her subsequent surgery.
“Hayley was all over the emergency response and stayed by my side throughout,” Fiona said.
“After surgery the follow up we received from midwives, doctors, anaesthetists and nurses was great and we really appreciated the support and debriefs.”
Additionally, Fiona said they had received many recommendations about the excellent care delivered by the hospital’s multi-disciplinary unit and team of midwives.
She was impressed with the prenatal education, advice and clinical care they had prior to her child’s arrival.
“We are incredibly lucky to have such a talented team in such a small rural hospital. We are truly grateful for everything everyone did.”
Fiona was induced on April 7, but her newborn son did not arrive until 8.56pm, two days later, weighing 3660 grams.
Fiona and partner Andrew are extremely grateful for the wonderful care and support they have received from the maternity team at Proserpine Hospital.
“All the midwives and staff involved in Atticus’s arrival were just incredible,” Fiona said.
“They were knowledgeable, caring, supportive and just lovely to have around during this
time.
“Dr Ky was also amazing throughout, going above and beyond for my care and coming in when off shift to check on my progress.”
