I had a termination for medical reasons at 16 weeks . My care was non existent. They forgot I was there and didn't order a sandwich at lunch (not that I could have eaten it I was too busy throwing up) but the midwife who took over at shift change was young , I was just another job . Even as she was picking out bits of placenta with tweezers because it didn't come away naturally. The orderly shouted at me for going to the actual toilet because I was sick of throwing up and having diarrhoea on a commode in front of my then partner . Of course when I went to the loos the baby came . I have never felt more humiliated, never felt more like a piece of meat in my life .
This was a much wanted baby girl . She had a chromosome disorder. I'd wanted a surgical termination and they told me it was too risky so had to be induced . It's put me off hospital for life .
