Details of experience
I did not give consent to many things during my birth, I was not asked for consent. I was not offered pain relief, or support in any way shape or form. I was told my baby would die if I didn't let them put the fetal scalp monitor on my unborn baby, after the midwife had put me under severe stress. I was threatened with DCJ if I discharged before 48 hrs (baby & I were perfectly healthy, no complications) The midwife was rude, invasive, did not listen to anything I said or wanted, ignored me when I clearly did not give consent. I was not aloud out of bed, I got yelled at for rolling from my back to belly after I refused constant monitoring - to which, they ignored and still made me have.
