[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 2117333, member: 160151"] And [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] Thanks... the problem is they make it seem like you have to choose which department you fight, they made HUGE errors with my last baby born there, nearly killed him several times. I had to watch my newborn crash after he was over ventilated and bled from his lungs, I had to watch him as he then crashed with all his organs shutting down one by one, his arteries collapsed and they needed an arterial line in so they had to open his umbilical cord to get some lines in and there was no time for pain relief for him so I again had to watch as he was sown up and flinching with each stitch! They then gave him the wrong medication, contaminated him by giving him another baby's dummy to shut him up because they couldn't be bothered to feed him, weren't changing his nappy, then again gave him the wrong medication again this time medically inducing him into a hypothermic state for over a week. I developed ptsd and still get flashbacks. They blamed me for all this because my bgl weren't controlled even though I followed their diet. I refused to go back to that hospital and was able to go to a better one... it was just too far though. I have already had an interview with the head of midwives but I was made to feel like I needed to concentrate on one thing to be dealt with and so I concentrated on NICU... since then the care I received is even worse and mistakes that are being made are being swept under the carpet (I actually have this in text form from one of the midwives). I will be taking my husband with me for the next appointment so hopefully my voice will be heard, I just get a bit worried that if I say something I will be treated worse than I am now. But I know my husband is better at this sort of thing than I am. He's telling me to stand my ground and not let them push me down and while he's right it's quite hard to do when you are in such a vulnerable situation. [/QUOTE]
