I should have had my pain investigated sooner

"I should have had my pain investigated sooner"

About: Royal Oldham Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

A lot of the staff are brilliant and happy to help but I found some of the staff didn't really believe me when I said I was in really bad pain and only offered me paracetamol and iburafen. I was told that the pain I was in was completely normal as it was after pains which you get from your second child. I was unable to move and was lying on a bed in the birth centre from 2pm until about 12am before anyone decided that something wasn't right with me. The doctor finally arrived to check me and pulled out a large amount of blood clots and realised some of my placenta was also stuck in there. I then got moved to postnatal where the staff are lovely and happy to help but are extremely busy. To be honest has put me off having any more babies.
