Never again

"Never again"

About: Royal Oldham Hospital / Maternity

I was induced and did not have a good experience from the offset.

- left for hours on end with no visits from midwife

- called at 4am to labour but after waiting 6 hours but didn't start procedure until 7am

- most of staff was not polite

- bathroom inside the labour room wasn't very clean

- wasn't helped with breastfeeding support despite requesting

- waited for hours to be seen by doctors

- food always arrived cold and sometimes stale

- in for a total of 11 days

- room was too hot with no fans available at the time

- would never ever recommend this hospital unit for a baby
