Poor communication in maternity

I had my baby in 2020, it was a stressful birth and my baby was taken from me as soon as he was born, when he was given back to me nothing was communicated to me about why he was taken, I was traumatised. I recall the midwives were talking with each other but not with me or even keeping me informed. I remember that the gas and air ran out but again nothing was said to me. It was not a positive experience at all.
