Not to concern anyone, but after the above experience I had, I made a point of writing on my notes and birth plan "No Bounty photos please".
Made not a sod of difference.
Can totally sympathise with you exBrightonBelle- when I had ds 16 months after dd at another hospital, he was a 28 weeker. I had a serious infection, so had the gasses bottle from my section and an IV of antibiotics. Was very ill, and so worried about ds.
Was placed on the maternity ward with the new Mums- which was awful enough- as their side wards were booked. Bounty Bitch came, I had my curtain shut. She breezes round the other 3 beds, lots of "Oh I've done you dearies" to the ladies. I thought I was safe as obviously, the notes and no baby with me as he was in scbu.
She swishes back the curtain, tells me to sit up and stop slouching, "oh don't you look glum, have you got the depression?"
I could hardly speak as I felt like utter shit. She then spots the lack of baby and asks, jolly as you like "oh did it die? Is that why you are moping in here then, you should get out on the ward".
Disgraceful. I burst into tears and muttered, no. So she cuts me off and says "ah, baby taken away from you, huh? Did you chose that or did the SS?"
At this point, lady in bed next to me who had chatted to me, came back from the loo and tore strips off her and the MWs on the ward for allowing her to harass me and be so rude.
I am still angry about that now. What a bitch- she then, on hearing ds was in scbu asked if I wanted some pics "just in case". At that point, I threw a biography I had next to my bed at her and she fucked off.
Awful grasping people who should be banned.
