"Unaware we had transferred"

About: Maternity Care / Labour Ward Maternity Care / Postnatal (Ward 22)

(as the patient),

Wishaw labour ward was great, the midwives looked after me.

Post natal care was not as good. My catheter was left in way too long after c-section, which could’ve led to infection. Was told I needed to be up and walking by 7. I feel my baby and I were forgotten about, and only received care when my partner went up to the desk. Staff were unaware my baby and I had been transferred to post natal.

We had concerns about my baby’s feeding, but we were brushed off and sent home the next day. Had to come back 2 days later and put on a feeding plan which I feel was due to lack of advice and care.
