Northwick Park Hospital 2012-04-20 Person 0 5 0

I was not very with it following a c section and did not realise I could ring a bell for help. I was left to tend to my baby, getting in and out of bed on my own all through the night on 1st night to feed him (after same day casearian) as noone came to check on me - I was right at the end of the ward, It was boiling hot as we had a heat wave and radiators were unable to be switched off. One nurse on duty one night was however very supportive and did keep an eye on me and gave some words of support that I was really grateful for. I had to stay 3 nights & had to plead to leave crying on day 4 as my white blood count was still high... it was one of the hardest things I've done..and I've endured a few things! Getting home was just amazing. If there's a next time at a different hospital I would think about discharging myself but at that time I was so vulnerable and my brain was not functioning, 4 hrs sleep in 3 nights.. (Discharged 21/4/11, no option below for 2011)
