After I had my twin boys in March 2023, I had a midwife come into our private room who I found unpleasant and who started demanding me to get up and change my babies, saying they needed changing. My kids were born early and were very sick - we thought they were reflux babys at this point. I had only just changed them and they were sick again. I was an emergency c section.
They then proceeded to wake my partner up out of the chair where he had shut his eyes for a bit because he was up all night to let me sleep after surgery. I was really sore and tired. They told him if he wanted to sleep he should go home. I really don’t understand why they were allowed to speak to us the way they did! I didn’t answer back!
My own midwife assigned to me and my boys came in later that morning when shifts changed and they couldn’t apologize enough. They said they babies weren't dirty but were just sick.
