It's time I wrote mine (horrific behaviour by hospital - be warned)

[Wispyshadow]

I'm so sorry you had such a horrible experience. Congratulations on your new baby and you did do a good job. You were strong and courageous through all of that insensitive, cruel chaos. If there is a place to report your treatment you definately should. I think sometimes nurses on delivery wards feel they are untouchable because they can just write it off as the mother was hysterical....its not right. Glad you are home and pray baby continues to do well. HUGS!

Congratulations on your little girl, and well done for coping through all that stress and awful care from them. It made me angry reading this how dare they treat you like that not only after your fears which they knew about but also the fact that you were delivering your little girl so early and it was such a stressful time for you. Well done again and I hope things are good for u and your family now xxxx

Firstly, Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby

I'm so sorry you had such an awful experience. Have you made a formal complaint or seen a solicitor?

I'm almost afraid to ask but I'm in the Notts area too. Which hospital were you at if you don't mind me asking?

I hope you start to feel better soon. I think it may be worth seeking some counselling especially if you think you are suffering from PTSD.

It was QMC - let's put this way - my midwife's told me if I get pregnant again, no ifs or buts - she's booking me in at City!

Thanks for replying. I'm at City thankfully. I hadn't heard good things about QMC. A friend of mine told me that they would have to drag her kicking and screaming to that hospital. I'm glad I listened to her after reading your awful experience. I do hope you are able to get past this and that you are enjoying time with your baby xx

First, congratulations! Secondly, I can't believe how your we're treated! I'm so upset for you

 

[Mummy1995]

Absolutely disgusting the way you've been treated, definitely get legal action against them! That is no way to treat ANYONE let alone a woman who is scared and in labour!! Just dreadful..

On a more positive note, I'm glad you and your girl are doing okay now, and a MASSIVE congratuations to you and your OH xxx

 

[oldmamamia]

I think the way things went down in the hospital may have killed my marriage. I can't move on from how things were in there - and it's caused at least three blazing rows in the last couple of days, to the point I honestly think that if they'd let me die in childbirth it would have been the best outcome.

Of course I can't tell the GP I feel like this because of the eternal fear of them ringing social services again.

Basically - they've left me in long-term pain with my hips from the crap they pulled with the stirrups, and a total shell of a human who has nightmares about the place and lives in permanent fear of social services now. They quite literally have destroyed my life.

Firstly Congratulations and Erin is such a beautiful name

I am so sorry you were treated like that, I read your birth story and literally my jaw dropped to the floor. Are you getting support from anyone following this? I would not be afraid to go to your GP - anyone can see that it is these people at the hospital who should be investigated, not you. Im sure even social services can see how shambolic their behaviour was and the case against you was dropped for its ludacrasy.

Please don't go through what you are feeling alone. You deserve to be happy and also get the medical attention you need from professional carers of which there are some around. You sound like a very strong person and my admiration goes out to you. Don't allow these vile people to ruin you x
