My daughter recently had her first baby at the new Cramlington hospital, she was already over due but was left a whole five days past this time having contractions, she was monitored but still sent home, by the time five days of contractions had passed she was so tired and distressed they gave her an epidural to ease the pain so she could get some rest to start all over again but the baby's heart rate plummeted down to 50 plus other complications and my daughter was took away for an emergency caesarean section, this strict policy of leaving people 10 days no matter what is ridiculous and dangerous, we are in the 21st century it is not acceptable to think everybody should just suffer through child birth, having said this her after care was very good by all staff after the birth, but her husband was completely ignored by most staff and not even offered a cup of coffee or spoken too, he also was traumatized by the whole experience.
