Hello
This is my first time posting and I hope this will make sense. Due to my job I am exposed to a lot of people experiences of nhs care. Recently I’m hearing a lot of terrible stories about failings and this is adding to anxiety about childbirth.
I want to say firstly that I completely feel for the nhs workers, what they have been and continue to go through. A friend who works for the nhs said ‘we’ve been treating people in broom cupboards for years even before this’. I feel absolutely sure that everyone is doing their best in very testing circumstances.
I am posting because I think probably I am hearing the far negative end of the spectrum and that by casting a net I might hear more positive stories because (again because of my job) I’m more likely to hear the bad not the good. Also I hear mainly about treatment of illness and injury, nothing related to birth which is what is concerning me whilst ttc. Any positive (or even adequate lol) recent stories of your care whilst giving birth would be amazing.
Thanks in advance.
