I experienced under staffing and lack of compassion/bedside manner at LWH. I feel that I was discharged far too early after not being taken serious with pain post birth. I was then misdiagnosed which led to a serious infection being identified a week post birth. I contracted sepsis as a result and feel that if more post natal care had been given to me then this wouldn't have happened. Constant late admistration of serious medication also ensued. Oh and they barely even looked at the baby post birth even though the next day my community midwife commented on how yellow /jaundice my baby was! I had an awful horrific experience. I really hope I don't have to go back to this hospital again. I think that something urgently needs to be done about post natal care and support for new mothers on that first day/night with the baby.
