First baby delivered yesterday by c section. I’m in a shared ward with three other women. One is, quite frankly, awful. This is her second baby and she has brought nothing with her - no nappies, no wet wipes, no knickers and one bottle of formula for her entire stay - 3 days.

She does not stop complaining, moaning and calling her family on speakerphone throughout the day to cry and have arguments about who’s cooking tea.

She snores like a warthog and I can hear the woman next to me crying because of it - she is about to be induced. I also used the loo after her and she had left blood all over the seat and floor.

The ward is losing its mind - should i say something to the midwives? She is making this whole experience really unpleasant. I know how this might come across but I am fed up - I had a traumatic c section and have to recover two meters away from her.

😕

I had similar after giving birth to DD. My husband called the ward and asked for me & DD to be put in a side room while we were recovering from an infection.

I had one of these 21 years ago, I didn't like leaving my new baby in the same room with her (4 or 6 to a room I can't remember)

Complaining about everything, disgusting state of the bathroom, arguing with her visitors,
