Ipswich Hospital (Part of the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust)


A week in Ipswich hospital having a baby

I was consultant led and on a trial which meant I would be induced on my due date if I did not have the baby beforehand. I did not and so on Jan 19th 2015 I went into Deben ward. The two midwives assigned to us that morning were just lovely. Unfortunately my induction did not work on day one or day two and I was sent home on day three. I was very well looked after but I was miffed as my consultant had said that after two days I would have a 'C section' if the baby did not come after 2 days of inductions.
