West Suffolk Hospital


Little care given when in labour and after.

Low staffing levels meant I was left when induced. Not checked when labour started. Baby was born on ward. Little care after child’s birth. On call midwife sent for and then we were cared for a bit more. Child’s checks were thorough the following day but not initially after birth. Husband requested a covid test twice and was not given one. Husband missed birth.
