Baby is 9 months now. I had a c section with a pph, blood loss over 2L. I had a blood transfusion and a balloon put in. Discharge notes state normal blood loss of 500ml, no complications, nothing about haemorrhage or blood transfusion. Since I had the 8 week check I’ve been trying to get the midwives to correct this. I’ve been told multiple times “Leave it with me and we’ll get it corrected”. The last time I called, the midwife went through all my notes and said she didn’t understand why it was incorrectly noted but she’d get it rectified. Still nothing. It’s not that big of a deal I guess except I’ve had 2 gps telling me I most definitely did not haemorrhage or have a blood transfusion because the notes state I didn’t. This isn’t the first time I’ve had inaccuracies with the hospital. I had something wrote down on my labour notes wrong from the pregnancy before and the consultant was telling me it didn’t happen because the notes said different, this is what bothers me.

But your records will show that you had a blood transfusion. This will be an entirely
separate record to your birth notes

This is bonkers. I can’t even imagine how this has happened? Complain formally and ask for a postnatal debrief, go through the events either a consultant and ask them to change it there and then. Also to send a letter to your gp.

You have to put everything in writing. Verbal conversations mean absolutely nothing.

Put it in writing and copy to the Director of Womens' and children's services.
