I had a very traumatic birthing experience at the Sale hospital. From the moment I stepped into the hospital for my induction, I felt I was not taken care of properly.
It seemed to me that most of the midwives did not have my best interests at heart and I believe they made decisions for me that did not benefit me. I felt I was spoken to condescendingly during my labor and I wasn’t listened to. After having my baby, the postpartum care was seemingly non-existent.
I had no help learning how to breastfeed my baby. I was in a lot of pain from an emergency c section and the midwives missed multiple doses of my medication which only made the pain worse. I had no help caring for my baby during this time.
I was still in pain when I was sent home from the hospital. I believe no one checked me out properly despite me asking multiple times and I had to be back in hospital two days later with an infection. Again, I had no help caring for my baby although being in immense pain.
The whole experience was very traumatic. I feel upset and frustrated that I wasn’t taken care of properly during my experience.
