"Night shift"

About: Osborne Park Hospital / Maternity care

(as the patient),

I Delivered my baby at OPH. Couple mouths ago. Till this day I can forget my night shift with this, in my opinion, horrible midwife. Till now IDK how I was so quite about this, maybe I was in pain and their attitude was last thing to deal with. But now I need to speak up. I felt they treated me like a garbage.

I had a c section and it’s my first baby. I was in pain emotionally and physically. I was only asking that I can't go down off my bed and take the baby can you give it to me and I will breastfeed the baby the midwife said no you need to go down you are a mum now. You need to expect you are doing this kind of things now and they said it so rudely. I felt they were treating me like sh**. I felt they were so angry because I can't pee or pass gases till yet. When I'm writing these words, I'm so furious how I was so quiet and silence about that maybe because of the pain medication.

All other midwifes were amazing except them!! I remember when they were checking my baby temperature I felt they were holding my baby like a toy. I wish there other people speak up about them. I feel the midwife made my first experience horrible.
