C section in under 2 weeks. Really not feeling confident as had diabolical non existent care compared to first. Both high risk pregnancy.

Don't feel I have much faith in my trust and surgery!

I totally understand how you are feeling but it is not worth stressing over this in my opinion. Of course it is terrible, but you wouldn’t know any different if it hadn’t been put in the press and I’d avoid reading or listening to anything further about it.

Is your trust on the list?

Mine is on the list and I agree it's really scary :/ x

I also got worried when I read the article then I googled that study and read it.

it’s not as bleak as in the newspaper.

the failures were for women who needed multi specialists team support and there was poor coordination between them, like for diabetes, high blood pressure, drug use, social services.

these women were very very high risk. The worse outcome was for their babies, not for themselves

the study also concluded that for 40-50% of them better care wouldn’t have had better results, as many refused even the care they were given.

the main advice is to implement a system where there is batter coordination and supervision of all the teams they were referred to.

Thought this would be the case. Thanks for sharing!
