I fought I will leave my comments and experience about my labour at Ealing hospital!
I think everyone need think before choosing Ealing hospital as their birth as the hospital made several mistakes during my labour and put my son in risk of surviving.
I went in to the labour ward at 11am on 01/01/2014, yes that's new year at 11pm. But as I wasn't dilated more than 1cm she send me back home and got told to come back when my pain was more frequent and my waters haven't broken at this stage. I went back home and was in bad pain for hours I couldn't sleep and suddenly I felt a splash on my nickers at 4am and I was unsure if it was my waters! Within in minutes my pain was more frequent and at 7am I was screaming and my partner took me to the hospital as my contractions were every 2-3 mins! As I got to the hospital this midwife at triage said she doesn't think my waters have gone without examining me then she examined me and said she can't see any water!! And said I'm just 2cm and to come back when my pain is more frequent! My partner said no I'm not taking her home her pains every 2-3 mins how frequent do you want it to be?? The midwife didn't make sense! Then she went and came
Back and said I have two options: 1) go home and come back or 2) get admitted and monitored. My partner and me decided to stay as she didn't make no sense with the first option! I got admitted and I was in so much of pain that I couldn't even walk. I got into the bed and I was screaming I was in pain and they have me gas and air. My partner left to get me some food, and then another midwife came and examined me this was within the 15mins.. The midwife goes how I am 7cm, the previous one didn't even examine me properly! She said I was 1cm and can't see much waters! I was taken into labour room straightway Andy partner came and was shocked! The midwives have to put more time and effort into their job and do it properly! I was 7 cm in constant pain, I had another two midwives with me at my labour :. There main midwives who was there wasn't making me feel uncomfortable didn't let me change positions in order to push the baby out and she was swearing at me and very horrible! The other midwife was just an student I can't blame her for anything! Finally she goes how she is going to cut me to my partner my partner said no because I was able to push my son out. They left it so long and made me uncomfortable !! Midwives pressed the urgent emergency button and when they doctors and loads of other midwives stormed into the room! When the doctor came the midwives goes I'm going to ask u something! The doctor pushed every and came and just pulled my son out! My son was too tired and didn't breathe after coming my out took a good 10 mins and thank god he cried. He was so tired and I lost soo much blood!
I had a horrible experience and thank god to the doctor I have my babyboy now! But the midwives need to be more nice and do their job properly! It's about bringing a life into the world if u find ur work stressful don't do the job! I did have an option of going to a different hospital but at the last minute my husband had to go to Ealing.
