"Noisy and triggering"

After having a baby I found the place so noisy and chaotic that I couldn't relax and felt on edge all of the time. I couldn't sleep and everytime I did drift off someone would shout outside my room. My partner was thankfullt allowed to stay with me after a lot of pursuasion and I'm so thankful for this as he had to talk me out of meltdowns on several ocassions. We found staff didn't seem to have an awareness of whether it was the middle of the night or themiddle of the day, they would shout and joke to each other from one end of the corridor to the other to greet each other when coming on shift etc would sing loudly. I remember one conversation going on about lost keys and wondering why they needed to shout this to each other from opposite ends of the corridor. I also found the catering staff very loud, they would all be particularly loud together at the start of their shifts. Please be aware of the trauma that many of us endured in giving birth, to aid recovery most people need calm, quiet and to be able to at least relax a little.
