"Problems which could have easily been fixed"

This is my second time back on 2 West since I gave birth last week. After having a major operation C-section and a blood transfusion I was not feeling myself and was rather tired and sore. I found it challenging to even move from bed to chair so taking a shower seemed like a massive task too soon.

The midwife insisted even though I was struggling to walk which I wasn't happy about. I was then left in shower room feeling faint after my shower and the midwife who was with me had left at this stage, I waited until the ward sister then found me to help me back to bed.

I felt at times one midwife in particular was cheeky to me and didn't need to be I told the sister in charge and she apologised to me for this. When I was first on 2 West my buzzer did not work as it took 4 presses of the button to register and when the midwife came to me she said I was pressing on the buzzer as if my baby had fallen out of the cot and I needed urgent attention, however it was merely because my buzzer did not function properly.

The second time I was back on 2 West again I was placed into a room where the buzzer again does not work so I am disappointed this is the case 2 weeks later still. I felt left in such a state after this and after just giving birth it was difficult and I couldn't even speak to my own mother on the phone as I just didn't feel up for it. My mother rang the ward to complain and she also felt like the midwife on the phone was cheeky to her too. I felt insulted. I was in agony and they didn't understand. They were rather ignorant to problems which could have been easily fixed. I feel after voicing to the head midwife nothing improved.
