"The worst induction labour experience"

About: St Thomas' Hospital (London)

I’m not sure if it was just my luck, but I had an appalling experience at St Thomas Maternity, from the start of the induction, the c-section and the postnatal unit. Some of the midwives were abrupt, no sympathy & not friendly at all. I had 2 failed epidurals & was screaming with pain for two hours without painkillers. When my husband voiced his concerns they didn’t seem happy about it & kept saying you have to wait. Poor maternity service!!! I was also moved to a very hot crowded, dirty ward after the birth of my son where the staff lacked empathy & patience. Everytime I clicked the emergency buzzer, someone would come in after an hour. After being in that hospital for several days, I plan to never return as I feel scarred from the horrible experience & service I have received.
