Attentive care on delivery suite, however could have acted sooner to speed up labour and regulate contractions which kept tailing off despite being on hormone drip. Midwife seemed too cautious to increase drip to a level which would have aided natural delivery. Care on ward post delivery ok. Too much pressure to breastfeed despite baby not latching on, support was provided in terms of technique but baby not interested in feeding. When deciding to bottle feed my decision seemed to be questioned. Support from community midwives once discharged from hospital was great, other techniques to breastfeed (which midwives on ward didn't promote once home) were discussed and when I decided to exclusively bottle feed my decision was supported rather than questioned.
