In recent months I have delivered a baby via caesarean section at the QEUH.
As the ward was very busy, due to high acuity and lack of staff, my care was unfortunately disappointing and lacking. I had no 1-1 delivery of care, I was never shown how to handle, swaddle, or change the nappy of my baby. I was also not regularly checked up on regarding my bleeding postpartum and feeding my baby.
I was understanding that the ward was very busy, but I was also post pre-eclampsia and I didn’t feel as my concerns I raised were listened to. This made me demand an earlier discharge from hospital as I had no direct care with my set midwife.
This has made me reconsider where I would deliver another baby in the future.
