Story

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I pray none of our family or friends will ever need to visit The Butterfly suite at Wrexham Maelor  but if you do , you will soon come to realise , that we are so very lucky to have this amazing facility at our local hospital . 

Our little Angel Ella, Was born sleeping on the 6th February 2021 .  We were taken to the butterfly suite as soon as we arrived and this was our private place until we were happy that we had said our goodbyes and felt ready to leave .

We stayed in the suite throughout Labour,  with the reassurance that the amazing midwives were right there whenever we needed them. We had our own time with  Ella in a cold cot , to be able to say goodbye in our own way. 

There is a private lounge area , kitchen , bedroom and bathroom , to help you feel as comfortable as possible . I just couldn’t imagine having to go through our experience on the Labour ward , surrounded by other parents that would be taking their babies home . 

There is no set time , you can stay for as long as you need and there was always someone around to answer our questions .

We will be forever grateful 🙏🏼💕🌈

Sweet Dreams Ella 👼💕
