Derriford Hospital & maternity side

I never put an official complaint in but I mentioned on the form we got at the end of our stay about the lack of support we got whilst on ward- I had an emergency C-section and obviously my partner wasn’t allowed to be there other than 2 hours a day and everytime I rang my bell for the midwife to pass me my baby took 10mins or so- as a ftm who’s just had a traumatic birth, no partner around, not able to move is shocking! And then I had no support with breastfeeding. Really poor, this was April 2021

they didn’t even ask me to fill a form out but I agree how shocking it was! I helped other mums with their babies because midwives were refusing to come help .

Oh bless you! When were you in?x

December 16th 2021 till like 3 days before Christmas Eve x

I feel like a complaint would not make up for the things they are still actively doing . Or the trauma I now live with because of them . My student midwife was the only one I thanked gods for . Because she was there & completely present for all of us
