"Maternity ward neglect"

About: Ipswich Hospital

Anything else?

My fiance was treated teribly during childbirth. The nurses refused to believe how far into labour she was and was given 2 paracetamol tablets for her pain! Our birth plan was not followed, gas and air was refused. It was a living nightmare in their care.

When we have our second child we will absolutly be looking into alternative places of birth. I truely hope no one ever has to go through what we went through.

I have submitted a formal complaint and am currently waiting to hear back from them.

We are really concerned about your fiance's treatment and care. Could you get in touch with us urgently on 01473 702064 so we can fully investigate? We are particularly anxious that we have not received a complaint to date about these issues.
