West Suffolk Hospital


Labour suite

During labour didn’t see much of the midwife only every hour, could hear the midwives/other staff outside gossiping and laughing about some other trainee midwife. Asked for epidural had to wait an agonising 4 hours to get it after 6 hours of labour. Not given any support or things to try in the meantime. A very lonely awful experience compared to birth I’ve had elsewhere.
