"Maternity"

The midwives need to remember there are real people (often young/inexperienced and frightened) at the end of medical care given. Having been birth partner and witnessing after care when things don't go to plan I am stunned at the lack of empathy and support. Apart from a couple of exemplary midwives. The nurses station on ward you go on after having baby needs to remember it is not a meeting place for staff chats and ignoring patients requests. The few midwives who did show professionalism, respect and kindness I have nothing but gratefulness to. The ones who forget the mum and baby matters, shame on you.
