"Treatment post caesarean"

I delivered a baby in King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH). When I got an induction, the service was very nice. After that, I born baby with c-section, that service was very nice. But when I went to Maternity Ward 5 after c-section, I feel the midwives service was very bad.

Even I got c-section, they did not allow my husband to stay with me 8am to 8 pm. Even it's mention on google page of King Edward that partner can stay 8 am to 8 pm. I was really shocked that with c-section, I had to live alone in the hospital the whole day. I was really angry.

After that, one of the midwives said to me to change my baby’s nappy, even I was unable to stand properly. With c-section, I did everything by myself. My baby was crying and I rang the bell 2 times, nobody was come into my room to see my baby. Then I was standing, again and again, to feed my baby and for change nappy.

The day after I born baby, my stitches were open and bleeding was coming out. I believe it was a serious condition. That time I was changing my baby’s nappy. Then I rang the bell again. Then one midwife came. They rang the emergency button for the doctor. After about 15-20 minutes the doctor came and said to me don’t stand up, again and again, have a rest. If blood will come again then we need to do operate again.

The next day, another midwife was on duty. When they came into my room to give me the medicine I said to them, please change my baby’s nappy, then they said I don’t have time. I don’t want to share their name here. Even I told them my condition, then I change my baby’s nappy by myself. After 10-15 minutes, I was feeding my baby and again, blood came from the stitches. Then I rang the bell. The same midwife came and I believe they were shocked. Then they were saying me, sorry, again and again.

I was literally crying at that time because I was helpless. My baby was crying, it seemed there was nobody to help me. That time, was midday, then I asked midwife can I call to my husband as I'm not fine. They said no, he can come after 3. I was really upset. I was crying that it feels like I am in prison, it was a really bad experience, in my opinion. I got operate again, I believe because of midwives mistake. I feel I was in that condition because of them. My husband was also angry but we have not other option at that time.

I came here to Australia, where, in my opinion, the health department is on 1st level. Based on my experience, I feel I would not recommend this to my family and friends. I feel I experienced the worst because of one or two staff member. I heard about this hospital, that this hospital is on No.1 in WA but what I feel is 0.5/5.

Please do a special enquiry, please, please, don’t think it's just a comment. It's a person’s life. I give so much time to write this comment here because I don’t want to see someone else in this condition. Please, please, please improve your service and please contact me if you want. Thanks, again, I'm saying its 0.5/5... shameful, in my opinion.
