Me and my partner attended ward 12 after being told our babies heart had stopped at 8. 5weeks. I was booked in for a medical procedure and given a lovely side room. The day staff were attentive and caring. Katie and Elsa looked after us really well and comforted us at what was a very sad time.
The night staff however were a different story. One of the nurses asked us what time I had 'passed the products' and I said 'you mean our baby' we knew the exact time as in our eyes I had laboured just as much as I had with my healthy pregnancies. We were floored when she chuckled at how precise we were then laughed in our faces. I will be complaining in writing. I felt as though my baby was nothing and she regarded it as a piece of rubbish, not someone we had created and had plans and dreams for.
