i could have gone there i had a choice of ipswich or bury but i chose ipswich because like you say i havent heard very good things, but i think ipswich can be just as bad lol. depends on the day and how busy they are just hoping ipswich will be good.

Im at James Paget in Lowestoft - I had the choice of Ipswich or Paget as im in between but chose Paget for travel convenience really. Ive been so so impressed with them so far - they have been amazing. xx

I can't fault my care I received last week at west Suffolk, I did have a section though so maybe it's different, was on a ward with natural labours too till I moved to a private room.

Crzygrl1624 your not far from me.

nope im not lol mendlesham is very close to me thats where i have been going to see the midwife because im in wyverstone just outside stow but easier to say in stow coz more ppl know where it is.

Ha ha, what a small world, I used to live in wyverstone. I guess you've got the same midwife as me too... Wendy? I've probably seen you in the doctors xx

had my first there. emergancy section after 21 hours labour. they were fantastic on delivery but liek someone said they were very very busy on maternity. they wanted my to stay for 5 days and i insisted on leaving after 3. i just got no rest or sleep. they do the best scones and jelly at that place...never found any other hospital measures up on the jelly front!! lol

Good news about the scones

I have to agree on the jelly front, still nice as ever last week

with both my sections I got so much help and I can't fault any of the midwifes at all when recovering.

When I had Ollie I was home the next day and with Chloe I came home on the Wednesday after having her Monday morning. Only reason was because they thought I may have an internal infection.

All in all my experiences have both been fab!!

just hijacking!
not pregnant but had both of my daughters in west suffolk (I'm in Thetford). I agree that the central delivery suite care was brilliant but once you get on the post natal it's a bit crap. With both births I have come home the same day though as I just didnt like the ward experience.
When I was struggling to feed my youngest they left me for 8 hours with no help and when they eventually came to check on me, her blood sugar had dropped so low they had to syringe some of my breast milk out and give it to her that way.

The midwife who delivered my eldest was called Irene and she was horrible! I had Nikki Garrett deliver my youngest and she was lovely! she left though to become an independent midwife.

The only complaint I have with cds in Bury is that they have a habit of sending me home when I have a histotry of very quick labour and delivery, With both children I have been rushing back to bury from Thetford and delivering very soon after arrival.

I kow both Midwives,Irene yes a cow not there now thank god......Nicky was lovely really nice......

When I had Amelia I lost 2 litres of blood (no transfusion) was stuck on ward at 7am after being on CDS since 7pm day before,with Cathetar,had no cup of tea until 11am or anything to eat was starving! I lay there thought I was going to die,cathetar bag was overflowing with urine so I shouted get it out of me or I will do it myself (I can do on others but myself?) Couldnt get baby out of crib as felt sooo weak....so when DH turned up with MIL at 1pm I went home with them,and they werent bothered at all........I had blood clots coming away,was so pale and could hardly walk........great care!

This time I will be like lady bloody muck and create as much as I can.......there is no way that is happening again.
