A FRANKSTON mum has thanked Frankston Hospital staff for looking after her during one of the longest stays ever in the Maternity Unit.

Esther Freeman spent nearly 10 weeks at hospital during her pregnancy. Although it was a difficult journey, her son Banjo was eventually born happy and healthy on 3 March.

This month, Ms Freeman visited the hospital midwives to thank them for their hard work. “It sounds like a cliche, but I could not have done it without them – everyone was just amazing,” she said. “I have so much gratitude for everyone: the midwives, the doctors, the people who cleaned my room. I just felt so supported and the whole situation was just so much more cushioned because of the staff.

“I had so much joy bringing this new baby home, but there was this sadness of ‘where has all my family gone?’ – I could not have done it without them.”
