We also had to experience what i thought was a level of incompetence here with Pia's care but eventually it was resolved and we have better maternity care now also.
Here too mate. The level of incompetence for maternity care in Ipswich is appalling. They had a go at me even for simple things like why I did not buy heavy duty maternity pads etc. They told me to go to tesco to get them. But eventually, they gave Jassmine their own supply. They served liquid ice cream at the ward, blamed jassmine for pushing out the baby too fast when she could not even control herself as they had extra work to do with the stitches.....complained about the baby clothes - two was not enough for the night (she stayed two nights due to complications, so at least they could have given extra blankets). They told Jassmine to take a bath but would not provide bath liquid. Complained about the baby nappies. The list goes on....what a nightmare experience for Jassmine.

I really hope your hostpital is better.
