ty miaou, I went to same hosp with ds2 (lesser of two evils) and what a diff a ring on your finger makes!! In this day and age it really cheesed me off, so what if you're married or not!!
I was in and out of hosp and had to stay a few times. There was some horid stuff on ceiling on one time I was admited, when I was admitted again over a month after, it was still there!!
another thing that put me off is they mixed up my urine sample with someone else it showed plus 4 of sugar. Luckily i knew straight away it weren't mine as I had been to clinic eve before and had protein in urine, and no sugar at all!! I was under watch cos of protein, headaches, flashing lights, swollen ankle and face and high blood pressure and was told I needed to go back to hosp but I really didn't want to spend night so said i'd go next day which is when the urine was mixed up. The doc said she was going to call diabetes coucillor I said no there must have been mix up as there wasn't even a trace the night before, she wouldn't listen and kept going on and on, I got cross and said i'd do another sample and if it showed sugar then so be it... she said go on then really dismisively so I did and she checked it asnd what do you know... no sugar at all but protein as I had said.
She was all appologetic, student mixed it up. but ofcourse the poor woman who had plus 4 sugar was prob gone home!!
The thing is the actual delivery rooms are spotless although the m/w were odd. I came in ambulance paramedic told them all the blurb and they said they'll get a room ready. I was waiting and one m/w passed me and said whats the matter!! I said i'm in labour what do you think??!!
was put into room, went to toilet where second waters broke which had meconium(sp) went to tell them and they said ok and waited for me to continue, like it was no big deal, went back to the room where husband was and a couple where at the door ready to go in one m/w said this is their room pointing to couple I said no it's not cas my stuffs in there and so is my husband she then looked in and dh was frowning at her!! I said excuse me and went in. I had such a horrid time.
Both pg I said baby was comming and was told no until m/w decided to check. The first time I said baby was coming, fair enough it was first time so I could have been wrong, it wasn't untill I said I need the toilet that one passing lovely m/w said she'd check and then she said she could see the head!!
Second time round they should have known I would now what a head coming down felt like!! I was told no it cant be, and another m/w said she had put scalp moniter thingy on and I wasn't but she checked again and whay do you know? a head!!
Oh I've gone off on one again haven't I
needless to say I have asked to go somewhere else this time, am waiting to see if they will accept me. so I haven't had 12 month scan.
