Llongyfarchiadau mawr i’r Fydwraig Emma Thomas, sydd wedi’i lleoli yn Ysbyty Dyffryn Aman, a gafodd ei anrhydeddu’n ddiweddar yn Fydwraig y Flwyddyn y Mamau Emma’s Diary 2019 ar gyfer rhanbarth Cymru.

Mae’r wobr nodedig hon yn un o Wobrau Bydwreigiaeth Blynyddol Coleg Brenhinol y Bydwragedd (RCM) sy’n cydnabod y gwaith anhygoel a wneir gan fydwragedd gwych ar hyd a lled y wlad.

Cafodd Emma ei disgrifio gan Emma Rees, y fam a’i henwebodd, fel “un mewn miliwn”, a ddarparodd y cyfuniad perffaith o dosturi, proffesiynoldeb, gwybodaeth a chymorth iddi yn ystod ei beichiogrwydd cymhleth, a arweiniodd at enedigaeth ei gefeilliaid Ollie a Sophie.

Casglodd Emma ei gwobr yn 17eg seremoni flynyddol yr RCM yn Llundain. Cyflwynwyd y seremoni am y tro cyntaf gan y gyflwynwraig deledu boblogaidd Alex Jones, sy’n disgwyl ei hail faban ar hyn o bryd.

Meddai Julie Jenkins, Paennaeth Bydwreigiaeth yn Sir Gaerfyrddin yn Hywel Dda: “Mae’n hyfryd o beth i Emma ar gael ei chydnabod am ei gwaith caled a’i hymroddiad i’rmamau yn ei gofal, ac rwy’n sicr bod derbyn y wobr yn fraint mawr iddi.

Meddai Mandy Rayani, Cyfarwyddwr Nyrsio, Ansawdd a Phrofiad y Claf BIP Hywel Dda: “Mae’n anodd dweud pa mor ddiolchgar ydym i’n holl staff nyrsio a bydwreigiaeth sy’n dangos yn gyson eu bod yn mynd y tu hwnt i’r disgwyl i ofalu am ein cleifion. Mae Emma wedi dangos y rhinweddau hyn ac mae’n esiampl ddisglair o’n tîm Bydwreigiaeth sy’n darparu gwasanaeth a chefnogaeth eithriadol i’n mamau beichiog yma yn Hywel Dda.

Ar ennill y wobr meddai Emma: “Dyma fraint o’r mwyaf! Pan glywais fy mod wedi ennill death dagrau i’r llygaid, roeddwn mewn sioc, roedd mor annisgwyl, roedd yn sypreis hyfryd. Mae Emma yn berson arbennig iawn, mae hi wedi bod trwy gyfnod anodd iawn yn emosiynol ac yn gorfforol dros y naw mlynedd ddiwethaf ond mae hi bellach yn fam hapus i efeilliaid annwyl.”
