Share review of Queen's Hospital
I had fantastic care on antenatal and labour ward but when I went onto postnatal ward I was a bit disappointed. As this was my first baby it was a bit of a minefield. I needed more help and support with breastfeeding. I did ask for it and it and did receive some brief help after some time. Also I had to request pain relief and then wait ages for it. This is no disrespect to the midwives they are absolutely brilliant I just don't believe there are enough of them to look after the amount of patients they have on postnatal ward. My friend refers to it as cattle ward and now i know why.My day 3 appointment with the community midwives was great and all the information I got is what I really needed on day 1.
However my midwife was still great. Just rushed off her feet!
