"Postnatal home visit"

I gave birth in another hospital but due to my post code I was visited by the midwives from Northwick park hospital. The midwife who visited me 5 days after my birth lacked compassion and kindness. She was very abrupt and made me feel very uncomfortable. I did not feel that she had a real interest in my or my baby's wellbeing, they were just going through the motions and filling out the papers. It was also concerning that the midwife wanted to physically examine me without my informed consent and her student carried out a test on my baby without following the correct procedure. They left both me and my mum upset and almost in tears. Thankfully that was the last home visit because I would not let her in my home again.
