Thankyou

Hi all Looking for some advice The midwife when I gave birth was INCREDIBLE. 💖Like I know lots of them are, but I feel like she was a huge part of me being able to have the natural birth I dreamed of (despite a difficult ride) and nuts a gift from the universe. She went above and beyond with us in that room. I have this huge desire to share with her how amazing she is, and most importantly to thank her. And I’m a bit gutted I didnt do this more after birth - but you know… baby was on my chest and I was just euphoric, plus getting stitched and it was shift changeover too. I for sure plan to write her a letter. I work in a related field and know how much these words can mean in thankless jobs. But beyond that.. I’m overthinking. - I’m not sure on hospital policy on gifts. - I’m not sure how much is too much or how small is too small. I’d be prepared to put some money behind something special but I know professionals in the UK have to be careful/declare gifts especially if expensive and don’t want to cause her hassle. - Flowers? Are they too standard? Are they allowed on the wards? - LO is 8 weeks now, and I’m worried I’ve left it too long for her to even remember us. Which is fine, but just on my mind. - And I’d really love to see her in person to hand it over and give her a hug, let her see baby BUT I don’t know if this is possible? if I post/drop off how do I ensure she got it? - Who would I contact to set this up? PALS? The ward? I’d absolutely work around them. Has anyone done anything similar? Chocs/treats for the rest of the staff are a given. And yes, I’m sure it will be a bit cathartic/healing for me too 🥹 Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help!
