I found that their was not enough support available to us, I think there were only 2 good nurses for the whole ward I was in. I had to wait very long to be seen by a nurse when called for one. It was my first child so I felt very scared but now I know for the next baby what it’s like and I’ll be more prepared. Straight after my c-section the doctor told me I lost a lot of blood but I will be fine. I was not given and advise or anything to help me recover straight after the operation only until I went for my 6 weeks check up and my GP asked me how I was feeling because he had received a letter from the hospital that I had lost a lot of blood and he then gave me iron tablets. I wish I had taken those iron tablets straight after my operation because I did suffer and was very tierd and thought it was normal to feel that way.
