Hospital letter

Nope! What is it?

Yes I had one as my birth involved shoulder dystocia

As it’s classed as a traumatic birth they offered a birth debrief so I could ask questions about what happened and why decisions were made and what happened clinically etc

I found it very useful

I wasn’t upset about the dystocia but it did answer questions about whether it’s likely to happen again

I was also able to tell them about my care after birth which was the actual trauma for me

Hope you’re okay

I didn't get a letter but I was offered a postnatal debrief while I was still in hospital.

I went into kidney failure after giving birth. They talked through my notes with me and answered any questions I had.
