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 hostiptal is better.

Oh dear oh dear poor jassmine had to go through all that. Aye, bad experience. I can imagine how she feels at that time Its not easy to give birth and the last thing you want to exp are things like that.

I should consider myself so lucky here. They supplied everything for me the pads, bring my foods in the table, prepare my breakfast and asked what I want, look after the baby while i have my bath/shower and get some fresh air, clothe our baby after birth with their supply but changed it later on with the clothes i brought with me, gave me extra blankets and toiletries, carry all my bags when i needed help, give me toys and clothes frorm the local maternity units for free, check me every minute if Im ok. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days and 7 days in our local maternity unit and got my own room and telly. And my experienced was brilliant. I really salute them all for the care they provided for me and the baby.

I gave birth in MELROSE BORDERS GENERAL HOSPITAL in Scotland and transferred to my local maternity unit in BERIWCK UPON TWEED in England for a week so that i can have a good rest. And they never failed me.
