just had a run in with the maternity ward bounty photographer

[StateofConfusion]

And having previously defended them and loved my pictures of my eldest children todays 'rep' has made me agree they need to be removed from wards!

She arrived originally before breakfast turned on the lights and opened curtains waking me and the other Mum up, then continued to talk over the peadiatrician who was checking my dd over.

Eventually she sulked off but apparently came back when I was asleep (how dare I?) Last time she came back as I'd just settled dd and was eating lunch which had just arrived.

I said No photos at the minute thanks she got most insistant that its for security reasons?? (I'm going home today) and said she'd just lean round and take them, dd was asleep on my lap in a v pillow whilst I ate. I said again, not right now I'm eating she left brochures and went off muttering quite loudly.

I'm hormonal so ofc this has upset me, but not as much as the first time mum across they way! WHY are these people allowed to just walk around a maternity ward being so fucking rude!

Fun one to do is have hubby say no thanks I'll take my own photos which aren't going to cost £120 for 4 pictures and a USB,whilst pulling out a far superior camera, then saying if you attempt to take or use my wife's or son's details my wife will nail your arse in court for data theft. Bounty rep scarpered quickly out of the room and had all 4 women's packs sent in via the midwife. Pmsl I wasn't allowed to talk to her simply because I was in a evil mood heehee xx

Interesting to read this thread. I am a retired midwife. I worked on a very busy maternity ward for 20 years and retired 10 months ago. The bounty staff I encountered were always very polite and helpful. Almost regarded as part of the multidisciplinary team. I am contemplating working for Bounty as retirement is driving me stir crazy. Not so sure now.
