I was admitted to the hospital in this ward for less feral moment and they saw some irregularities in the heartbeat of the baby. They kept me under observation for 48 hours.
But kept on telling me that other people are priority as they are staring labour. But none of them actually delivered baby in front of me.. and they hardly had to monitor them. Whereas in my condition there was a possibility of pre term birth because it was an ivf pregnancy and I have other conditions like gestational diabetes and thyroid with abnormal feral heartbeat monitor.. they never came to see me throughout my stay there and kept on asking me to check my sugar levels in my own because they are busy.
I was on steroids if they had to deliver the baby preterm. This caused me such a distress and agony in a difficult condition. I would never recommend this ward especially for anyone treatment who are in the same situation as mine. I would rather suggest going to good hospital with good staff ethics not like in this ward. The nurse was rude in behaviour and shouted few times at me too, while asking any questions to them, and gave excuses that they have a lot of other patients to attend who are more important. I understand there could be other patients on higher priority list but at least do not cause distress to the ones you are seeing and are already in pain.
