"very dissatisfied"

About: Royal Preston Hospital

I feel the standard of care has really dropped. The staff have a very business like approach. The feeling I experience was u have delivered your baby now and in 6 hours u need to leave. And this was priorities over care. Not once did a midwife came to ask me how both myself and baby were doing. Also because this ls my 5th baby I feel I was treated very differently by the midwifes. I was given slidey remarks throughout my stay. This made me feel very uncomfortable. One example was see you next year! As I was leaving the delivery room. Also I feel I was forced into making a decision to be induced based on 1 dip in the baby's heart rate. Also just to conclude the ward was not busy.
