"Ruined my first birth experience"

About: Bedford Hospital South Wing / Maternity care

Went in with reduced movement and was treated like I was wasting their time. Attached to a machine and wasn’t even told anything. My mum had to ask and the midwife was very patronising and said “that’s the heartbeat.” Asked for a scan and was sent home. It turned out that my baby had his cord wrapped around his neck during delivery. Conpletely unprofessioanl midiwives during recovery who really ruined the experience for me and upset both myself and other family members. Offered no support with breastfeeding Shen asked and failed to see my son had tongue tie and jaundice. Have already complained but not heard anything back! Would not return here in the future. Have no faith in any of your midwives who are all so unprofessional and rude!

As a Trust who prides itself on delivering the very best patient care and experience, this is very upsetting to read. Sincere apologies you had a very poor experience with us. Although I'm sure our PALS and Complaints team are investigating this if originally sent to them, I will use the information you have mentioned to double check this is being dealt with. Once again, we are very sorry for your negative experience. From Bedford Hospital.
