My lovely girl gave birth to my precious Grandson approximately 24 hours ago.
She has been lumbering round in the latent stage of labour for a week or more, then it all stepped up on Tuesday afternoon. She rang the birthing centre and they told her to go in. When she arrived it appeared to have faded away. The midwife there was very dismissive of her, told her there were no signs she was in labour and didn't even examine her.
A few hours later she was back in and gave birth to a proper wopper (9 pounds 8 ounces). She was torn to shreds and was blue lighted to the nearest big hospital (some 20 miles away) for a repair operation.
I know in my head that being taken seriously on the Tuesday afternoon and being admitted would have made no difference. But my heart feels differently and I am so, so, so angry with the way she was treated.
Can someone who knows what they are talking about give me some reassurance that she was treated properly.
Thank you.
