Gifts for midwives?
Hi I have just had my second child. Last time I never really saw the same me and gave birth in hospital and I also didn't find my community mw very useful. This time I have had the same community mw from my booking in appointment until being discharged yesterday. She wasn't at the birth as I gave birth in hospital but over the past 10 days she has made sure I have had 4 visits instead of just 2 she would normally give because she has been supporting my breastfeeding. I had a terrible time trying to feed last time and gave up after a week. She has been great and feeding is going well this time which means Im a very happy mummy!
I'm going to write her a nice thank you card & let her know how much she helped me but wondered if I should get her a gift? And if so, what? I thought about flowers but she is off next week and I'm not sure what days she is working so I would hate to take flowers in and then find she isn't there to receive them.
Did any of you get your midwives anything? Or anyone have any ideas?

Most of the midwives in hospital weren't particularly kind or helpful so they got nothing

I got her a Willow Tree ornament, it's a little wooden effect figure, with wings and was holding a 'Thank You' , sounds naff, but it was really cute!xx
You get them in Argos and card shops.xx
