Just watching the news about the baby who after a delayed csection . . .

I was left alone until i screamed the hospital down - no-one believed i was in labour at 27 weeks, they left me waiting for a doctor, who took at least an hour and a half, and if someone paid a bit more attention maybe someone could have stopped it!

By the time they believed that Hope was coming she was crowning and didnt survive ..stupid people need to listen to the mums x

i'd have punched my midwife if she'd stayed with me the whole way thru! i like my privacy! they kinda bobbed in and out and once i got to 9/10cm she was there all the time and i had 2 when i was pushing.

with ella i didnt so much as glance a midwife til she was about an hour old

Im sorry babe x x x x x x x x x x

Its easy for some girls here to say "Oh I didnt need 100% attention, I'm fine/I was fine",well lucky you, but 1 on 1 care could have saved a lot of babies.

I spent the time in agony, waiting for a doc, pondering to the bathroom myself when i was literally losing sight with the pain,I was 9cm dilated and all I could herar was midwives answering the phones to worried mums in labour. Each time they hung up, I heard them slagging off and being patronising about the callers.

2 midwives were crying while I was in labour, they felt guilty.

When i had Leigha, i had a midwife drop in on me every half hour or so. And i was in labour for 28 hours!!!

but with Tom i had to ask the MW to leave, cos all i wanted to do was sit naked, and i felt uncomfy with her there...in the end she stayed tho cos i couldnt get off the bed cos they had to constantly monitor Toms heart beat.

But for each i went to a different hospital. Maybe its different everywhere.
