"Being ignored while in pain before giving birth"

Five months ago I gave birth to my second child at the Queen Elizabeth university hospital in Glasgow. Due to a pregnancy condition called Obstetric cholestasis, it has been decided that I would be induced at 37 weeks. I was admitted to the ward 48 of the maternity at 8pm to be induced with prostin Gel. After 6 hours and still no contractions, another induction had been done. The third dose of prostin had been administered by a Doctor who examined my cervix to see there was any progress and also to decide what would be the plan, either to wait longer or to break the water manually. 

The time of the third dose, the next day at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor decided to wait and see if the labour starts by itself with the help of the three doses of prostin I had the past 18 hours. I was told that labour could start during the night but I would be examined the next morning. Just before the examination, I told her that I was feeling contraction every 4-5 minutes. After she left, the contractions keep going but much more intense. At around 8pm my contractions were every 3-4 minutes and quite painful. I was monitored and told the midwife that I was having painful contractions and my husband asked if someone could examine me. I was only given a painkiller and was told that someone would examine me soon.

Nobody came to check on me and while I was enduring the pain of the strong and close contractions, I was given another pain killers  (as if I was just enduring periods pain) and was told to have a warm bath to help with the pain and that I would be examined in the morning only. I should mention that I was in a 3 beds room, and while you're in pain and feel the need to express that pain, you have no privacy because all the mothers-to-be are in the room and it's quite disturbing for them as well. I did my utmost to remain quiet while experiencing really intense and painful contraction.

After midnight I went for a bath and while the contractions were still increasing and closer, I felt that I needed to push. I left the bath in pain and screaming in the hallway of the ward, telling the midwife I really needed to push as it was really painful and unbearable. A midwife grabbed a wheelchair and took me straight away to the labour room and it was too late to have an epidural as the labour already started for a while. Thirty minutes after being admitted to the labour room, my baby was born. Due to the rush, my husband could not make it on time.

I ended up giving birth in pain, it was obviously too late to have epidural (which I was not prepared), panicked, and feeling lonely. This experience of giving birth in these conditions left me traumatized and I found it hard to physically recover from it even if I was looked after by fantastic midwives in the labour ward.

I don't understand how come nobody came to examine me when I mentioned more than once that I was having painful close contractions. I should mention that the ward 48 was not busy at all and it was known by the midwives that I was induced and got three doses of prostin. How come nobody came to at least check the cervix to let me know how far it was open. Being left alone and even ignored made the whole experience of giving birth really stressful and obviously painful. I have left the maternity one day after giving birth, feeling completely devastated and depressed because of the whole experience. The next few days it was really hard for me to look after my newborn baby (which can be normal because of the hormones) but still I kept thinking about how things happened and all the stress that have been caused.
