After suffering four recurrent miscarriages in three years, my husband and I made an appointment with Jess and Neil to discuss our options and next steps for trying again for a baby. After a heartbreaking few years, we felt a little anxious but Neil and Jess were so empathetic and supportive during that initial conversation and we left feeling more positive about our future.
As soon as we found out we were pregnant again Jess saw us straight away and prescribed some additional medication that hadn’t been discussed with us before. Pregnancy after loss is such an anxious time and Jess gave us as much support as she could, with regular scans, HCG testing and ongoing advice.
What has been really important for me, is that Jess made my husband and I feel validated in our grief and anxiety. Having seen multiple medical professionals in Jersey over the past few years, I have never felt as comfortable and understood as I have as Jess and Neil’s patient.
I’m now 21 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy, and whilst we’ll never know if that is just luck or the additional medication Jess prescribed, I know for certain that I have felt mentally more capable of dealing with this 5th pregnancy because of the treatment received from Jess and Neil.
