My son was admitted to hdu overnight... the day nurses were amazing and couldn’t of done more, the night shift however were quite rude about me going to sleep In my room and leaving my baby asleep in what I was told was 24/7 care, the nurse said that I needed to stay there to look after him when she was too too busy. When I pointed out I had been in resus since 6am and I was also 8months pregnant she said she could take my number and call me when he wakes up. This was very distressing as it meant walking from the league of friends bungalow near a+e to acorn in the early hours of the morning alone and struggling. All in all I was called twice to hdu where I had no bed and left to my own devices, all while feeling like the worst mother in the world for wanting some rest...
"Overnight stay in hdu."
