"Labour Divert"

Called the RAH Maternity Triage at around 1am to make them aware that my partner was in labour, considered a high risk, consultant lead pregnancy. 

We were made aware that due to staff shortages a hospital divert was in place, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Govan. My partner who suffers from anxiety and a fear of this pregnancy ending in a C-section due to her last pregnancy ending in a C-section due to trauma resulting from events with her last pregnancy.

The trauma of being diverted to a totally unfamiliar hospital, the trauma of being in an open triage unit, paper curtains while discussing extremely private medical history and being able to hear other pregnant woman in distress feels totally inappropriate and uncompassionate? My partners labour ended with us being sent home again, high risk, consultant lead? We seen a very stressed midwife only. 

To me it's clear that this was the result of mismanagement from senior management and should never have been allowed to happen.
