Details of experience
my birth plan was abruptly changed when i found out my baby had 3 fatal heart defects. i was induced at 27 weeks and he was stillborn. the team and head of bereavement was so incredibly supportive and caring and the midwife i had during his birth was one of my favourites ive ever had. i will never forget her and her compassion. however there was 1 older lady who i had rostered on to only look after me during this 3 day stay and she was constantly rude to me despite the situation, she kept trying to convince me to take suppositories after i told her no multiple times and to just put it in the IV she had spent 4hrs on the balcony smoking instead of looking after my needs so we had to find a different midwife to help. she was rough, i will never forget how rude she was to me during it all.
