I know I probably am as it was over a year ago but I just feel really lost. I have said I would not stop foot in this hospital again if my life depended on it. I have had two babies at pinderfields & both ended up in EMCS’s.
My DD was born in late 2018, I went into labour at 4:30AM, with waters breaking first and contractions starting at about an hour later. I went to the hospital at 7:00AM and they told me my waters hadn’t broken, they kept me in though and they left me in a room for hours on my own and hardly checked on me until I was 4CM but it was 7-8hrs. They took me to the delivery suite again and gave me gas and air and no one showed me how to use it, no one gave me support by telling me to move around. I got to 10CM and they told me to start pushing and I pushed for an hour and a half. They then tried forceps because apparently she was in the wrong position & then it ended in a CS. This pregnancy had not been fun for me or easy as I had gallstones from about 4 months and they didn’t get picked up until my little girl was 3 months old. I’d lost 2 stone and 3 stone altogether by the time it was removed and I just think it’s disgusting that no one picked it up. No one thought that there was anything wrong with me.
I got pregnant with my DS the year after a month after the gallbladder was removed. The 12 week scan was when it started to go wrong. I had been on vitamins such as folic acid etc. since trying and was continuing to take them. I got told after the 12 week scan that some of my levels were high and that meant my son may have a high chance of downs so I got the test to make sure. I was already on aspirin and it came back that he did not have it. I was worried from the 12 week scan to the test that he had this and then when I found out he didn’t but they told me the test we had chosen to do increased the chance of miscarriage.
The 20 week scan came and we found out he was a boy, they told us on this scan that they were worried about the placenta and the scarring from my previous EMCS. There are also holes as well so they had to get feedback. It came back that the holes were placental lakes and they were apparently “fine” and the scarring and placenta was okay. The 28 week scan they noted he has was small and the 32 week scan they said he had hardly grown at all and I had lost some amniotic fluid and then i was admitted onto the ward as a result of the 34 week scan because he hadn’t grown at all.
The 34 week scan the Paediatric doctor told me they were going to keep him in for another 3 weeks so he was 37 weeks. I asked them what good that was going to do and they said he would be better instead which was ridiculous because I had stopped feeling his movements and he wasn’t growing.
