I went in to the maternity unit due to bad cramps at 19 weeks pregnant. I was told to come for my appointment at 4pm, due to how busy ward 9A was I did not get seen until 6:30pm. This was not down to the midwives as they were amazing, it was to do with shortage of staff being able to help on the ward.
This was a really hot day and we were offered bottles of water to keep cool but the temperature in the hospital was way too warm. The waiting time and the temperature is just not acceptable especially when you are worrying about your baby. More staff members are needed to help make this ward better.
As I said previously, this is no reflection on the care I did receive when I was eventually seen. The midwives, registrar and student midwives were all lovely and respectful.
