I gave birth here in early 2020. Sadly the midwives ignored my requests for no coached pushing or medical interventions. The consultant performed an episiotomy without requesting my permission or even INFORMING me of what they were about to do. I had no local anaesthetic administered, I had also not taken any pain relief what so ever. I am now left with lifelong issues caused by the forceps delivery (prolapsed uterus & bladder). The bathroom in the delivery suite was filthy, toilet paper stuffed down the side of the toilet, dust on the toilet roll holder & shelving above the sink. The taps in the bathtub was slimy with god knows what. There was also black mould on the ceiling. The midwives on the ward were lovely and checked on me & baby every 4 hours during the night. The ward was also relatively clean, though a lot of dust and grime under the chair when I moved it.
