"Labour ward"

About: Kettering General Hospital

Disgusted ! I gave birth very quick , so no time for my drip ! So once baby was out drip went in, then I was left on the bed for 4 n half hrs laying in my labour mess , was told I not aloud to move , shower or wash , they changed the big matt under me twice ! I had no bed sheets or blanket , only a very small sheet , I had to use my jumpers to cover me up ! Nurse never realy came in to check on me , I had after pains too , rec 1st lot of pain killers straight away , but then had to wait 7 hrs for the nxt lot ! I was also pushed in to going home early. Which ment they didn't want me up on th ward, it was buzzy so they told me ! But on my paper it was written down that I choose for early discharge! I was put on the injections for blood clots , come bk tommorow and collect the injections, they wnt ready until 7 pm that evening !! And now I'm suffering from a uterine infection, on two lots of meds, if this was my first baby it would of put me off going Kettering ever again ! You made me feel dirty with no dignity , and that's not how u should should feel when You have a beautiful baby in your arms!
