Hi, I had my baby girl 3 weeks ago and the last few weeks of my pregnancy were horrible, I had preeclampsia and a really iffy hospital stay, I was just wondering if they'd do a debrief for my whole hospital stay or would it just be my birth? I was there for 2 weeks before having my baby girl. And for those of you who had a debrief was it worth it, did it make a difference? And how would you go about getting one? If it helps the story of what happened is below 😊 thank you!
I was diagnosed with preeclampsia at 35 weeks and I stayed in the hospital until I was 37 weeks and had my baby, my hospital stay leading up to being induced was not the greatest I had issues and questions that doctors and midwives never answered. It was a very stressful event for me, I was already upset due to having preeclampsia, having to stay in the hospital away from my partner, I still had more to prepare before the baby came, I was being giving high dosages of medication (which I asked if it gave me or baby side affects they said no and after birth my baby had health issues due to these meds) and I just wasn't ready for her to be born I wanted her in my belly for a bit longer, but I then had a quick induction with an okay birth, they didn't believe how much pain I was in, epidural failed, they told me I couldn't push yet when I was ready to, tried to send my partner to get food when I was 9cm like lol no, after birth I was on the TCU where I got no sleep, baby was having a lot of stuff done, they took her to the NICU and didn't explain why, student midwives telling me she was having seizures when she wasn't (she was doing the startle reflex) she was in a hot cot, had multiple heel prick tests and she screamed every single time and she wasn't eating as the teat on the bottle they gave me was too big, I told 4 midwives this over 2 days and was ignored every time until 1 midwife listened to me and we gave her a different teat which worked! I was finally allowed to go home after 3 days of her being born which doesn't seem long but it was horrible after being in there for so long! This experience has made me scared to have another baby...
