RVI

A friend of mine gave birth at the rvi because her little one was born with his stomach on the outside so needed operating on straight away. She said it was fantastic they had a flat for the parents to stay in and everything I believe.

I had my premature baby at RVI it's a fantastic hospital. X

Amazing! Absolutely amazing start to finish! I gave birth to daughter in October and they couldn’t have gone any more above and beyond. Also have a little boy born with cleft lip and palate so we’ve had all his apts and surgeries there which is why I chose RVI, apposed to the QE 😊

My experience wasn’t so great in January when I had my elective section. It wasn’t the staffs fault, they are overwhelmed with the work load- but I expected the care to be way better following major surgery! We were pretty much dumped in a recovery room for 7 hours with no support. Baby and I were both healthy, despite me being in a lot of pain of course, but I think this may by why we were left without much help (even though I couldn’t move). I was left on bedsheets covered in my own blood and was still on the roll mat used in theatre at 8pm and I had my daughter at 11am. They didn’t get me up and walking until the next day, which I believe made my recovery harder than what it should’ve been. All being said, my daughter and I had no medical problems so I can’t ask for more than that, but I don’t remember my time in the RVI very fondly x
