Maternity Unit

Everything leading up to my birth was good, a few hiccups but felt I was listened to. Fast-forward to after my emergency section, was ignored and told many times it was normal to be experiencing the pain I was in. Was being sent in circles. It was not normal, I ended up having cellulitis and and abcess in my wound. Which managed to burst my wound open twice, I was really ill and was dismissed by the majority of the staff until I was seen by a doctor and kept in for 4 days on iv drip. As a first time mum I I really had to push through some rude and patronising comments such as I was shivering in the height of summer as I was a new mum and probably hadn't had much sleep. Their were a few midwives and nurses that were lovely. Such as shame that others are unpleasant and completely dismiss you

The staff in the maternity triage and wards are stacked out but all so lovely and make you feel safe when it can be a really scary time. A particular shout out to the midwives on C3, you were amazing to me both times I have ended up with you and I really appreciate it.

I've just recently had a baby Aug 2022 at Wythenshawe hospital and I had the most pleasant experience on C2 ward. The midwifes and the care I received whilst in their hands was excellent, I could not of asked for more. However my regular check up appointments in the antenatal department did not reflect the same treatment I received on C2 ward. I felt "SOME" members of staff (not all) did not want to be there and it reflected on how they spoke to you and how they treat you. However once I was admitted to have my baby I received nothing but the best care. Thank you to all the girls on C2 ward and all those involved in my care, you are the best x

Clean. Bright. Cheerful. Compulsory masks to be worn unless exempt. Excellent and needed security when entering unit, and while visiting due to specialist nature as is Maternity Unit. Completely seperate entrance for scans, checkups etc Needs a seperate room for those waiting for a scan or to see doc due to miscarriage, and NOT be sat next to smiley happy still ecpecting mum's. It's heartbreaking
