"I felt I had to suffer due to wrong report"

About: Medway Maritime Hospital / Maternity Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital / Maternity Shropshire and Staffordshire

(as the patient),

I was one day overdue with my pregnancy and I felt my water broke. It was good Friday. Gillingham hospital was closed they told me to go to margate. I went there I had a scan and scan shows that baby made a poo inside so I need to talk to midwife as soon as possible. I spoke to midwife she said go to hospital asap. I went next day gillingham hospital, they notice baby losing heart beat and shifted me in c section. They did scan again and scan shows nothing happen at all. There was no poo. But they on and off decided to kept me at hospital. I was one day overdue, no pains at all. They gave me artificial pain and I was in Labour for 22 hours. Only coz of wrong report I had to suffer a lot. Other wise my second due date was imminent and I might not need artificial pain that time. Not stop here it was bi ceps delivery and made wrong but and I over bleed. Then gave me two bottle blood.

Again after recovery my doctor from sheerness said I have to have smear test asap. I shifted form sheerness to Stafford and till today I am waiting for letter for smear test, as doctor in Stafford said they have back log and waiting for my paper to shifted here.

Now I don't go to doctor coz getting same abs again.

Now my son had a fever form five days and still on paracetamol and Ibrufon. Getting worse everyday but doc said it's viral he will be fine. Doc said if he is eating and playing that's fine. He was eating ok but now stop eating and drinking. Hopefully this thing doc was waiting for and they will give something to treat him.

Very bad system so far, in my experience. 11 years in uk every time same very bad exp.
