I was told to be induced due to having a bigger baby. This process started 10 days before my due date, I was 1 day from my due date and no further forward.
Started my balloon induction and it fell out 16 hours later and two days later was still awaiting to be taken down to labour ward for my waters to be broken.
The communication has been awful, one midwife says one thing and another says something else.
I got told by one midwife I was not a priority and never will be priority as my waters haven’t broken.
I have now spoke to a doctor and the hospital coordinator about how my care and time in the hospital has been. We were made to believe induction would be straight forward and a quick hospital visit. I had spent 110 hours (4.5 days) in hospital with little to no progress.
My care has been very disappointing, distressful and very lacking from where I am standing. I had my first child in Glasgow and my care was amazing this is why I chose to have my second child up here but I regret this as my hospital of choice this time around because of the stress, mentally, physically and emotionally I’ve been put through unnecessarily.
This is a very brief version of events that I have experienced over the recent 5 days. I have everything down to times and what care I’ve been given written due to my very poor experience and level of care.
