With DS1, I had an open ward full of Bengali women who weren't getting any help or support. One had had a press-button-get-Morphine thingie installed, so she must have been in a bad way. But nobody had explained to her how to push the button!

I had a horrible time, and I knew they were having a worse time.

Had a moany woman in bed next to me in our 4 bed bay one night. Had 2 chav couples occupy the bed opposite in the 3 days i was in after DS's birth. The only alright person was the 16 yr old who had a baby boy and her lovely mum who made sure she got the help she needed. Alot of the people also pulled curtains round alot of the time.

Keep 'em comin', folks! I'm edging towards a home birth here!

vickitrickortreatmum · 03/10/2005 12:56

I would if i were you expat!

With Dd1 I had a room of my own for the whole time, stayed for 5 days and was very very bored.

Dd2 I had a room of my own for a couple of days and then moved to 4 bedder. Was the only one in there with no baby to see too so was a bit sad.

With Ds i was in a four bedder from the start and in for 7 days. There was a polish woman next to me at first then an indian lady, both of whom had curtains drawn at all times.
The bed opposite had about 4 different woman in, int the time i was there, chatted with a couple of them. The one girl they'd got her babies birth weight wrong.

There was a rather large lady on my ward, her even larger family came in to see her and her brother sat down, opened a big bag of crisps, stuffed a mouthful in and said to his sister "so, did you shit yourself them"?

My mother and I were in meltdown, god knows how we managed not to shriek out loud with laughter!

'Island' - is that a Brummie thing? - we are miles from Brum and still say Island - it's just an efficiency thing, why say words of 3 syllables when you can reduce to 2?

When I had ds1, the girl in the next bed, was someone I had got to know quite well at ante natal.
She was expecting twins & was not due until 5 wks after me, but they were born on the same day as my ds.
We had only seen each other the day before & exchanged numbers, because she wanted me to give her a ring when I had the baby!
As I was wheeled into the ward, she peeped her head around my curtain & shouted "Beat you!"
