Original feedback for

West Suffolk Hospital


Blood pressure was not taken at any point.

I developed eclampsia in the active stage of labour, before this point my blood pressure was not taken. Ended up very poorly, with a rushed, terrifying experience of labour. Left me unable to breastfeed due to how unwell I felt. Midwife who was supporting me surely should have been more carefully monitoring me.
