I'm 19 years of age having my first child it was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me, my baby was breach so I had a planned c section the week before my due date, I had the c section and put on to what I thought was a ward, there was no beds on any of the wards so I am still not sure what room I was put in, after spending the first night with no help from any members off staff I struggled bending out the bed to get my baby, the next day they came and took my cafita out and that was that. I had bled all over my bed my. Boyfriend had asked 7 times for someone to change my bed sheets as I was lying in blood but he kept getting told they would be in in a minute after waiting 12 hours I got out of bed and sat on a chair whilst my boyfriend and mum stripped the bed next to me no one had been in since I got there and replaced my sheets with them. Hours later someone came in and gave me a lot of abuse over it and walked out. I called a midwife it took them over an hour to see to me and asked what was going on why had no one came out to me and I was told 20 minutes later that they thought I had been moved on to a ward. After all that stress I got to go home after being moved until a week later I went back in with mastitis, I was carted around on to a ward then on to hcu and then back on to a ward then back to hcu because they couldn't control my temperature I had said many of times that if they would give me my paracetamol drip straight after my antibiotics then that would stop my temperature going past 40 but I wasn't listened to they looked at me like I was stupid even though they did it 4 days later and it worked my temperature didn't go up again. Before they did that they added a new antibiotic on to my drip as my uncle is a herbalist he wanted to know everything the hospital was giving me so I text him over this new antibiotic they were giving me he researched it and it came up its harmful to the baby if I breast feed whilst on this antibiotic which they didn't think to mention, they were still encouraging me to breastfeed at this time until I called a midwife in and told them who then brought a doctor in who I was saying no it will just cause Diyarhia, I had the evidence pretty much later out in front of them but they still tried to back themselves up. I could go on for hours about how I was treated in this place. Can honestly say I would never go back here again
