    The mother refused to close the fridge door because she said the baby couldn't sleep with the lights off.

    Shocking stuff, not really something that should be discussed in AH though.

    Nurses told a woman who had suffered a miscarriage at four months to keep her dead baby in her fridge for two days because they couldn't fit her in for an appointment.

    Sophie Hill, 21, called East Surrey Hospital for help but was told she couldn't be seen until her next scheduled visit.

    What I cant understand is why she didn't go straight to the hospital, ask to speak to the woman that said that to her - and knock her out.

    Not as bad as the OP but when my ma had a miscarriage she was given the foetus in a jar to take to another part of the hospital. Apparently none of the people wheeling her bed around could hold it.

    I was told to go home until I miscarried, then to call them. The child is 8 now.

    Those crazy medics...

    My mam was told after two miscarriages she's never have kids. She must've adopted my sisters and I from the same woman, who happens to look just like her.

    Do they still do the ole' putting miscarrying women on the same ward as the women in labour? That was lovely.

    You AH kids would have been playing with your Action Men at the time, but the health service was sh*te back then, and not alot has changed.

    I could elaborate, but it might break AH. :D



    I was half carried to a toilet a few hours after the (apparently miraculous) birth, put sitting on the toilet in the ward, the door to the bathroom was wedged open with a chair while the nurse carried on with her rounds. I didn't even need to go. D*ckheads.

    (Glad you didn't miscarry btw)

    Apparently.
    A guy I work with's wife gave birth 3 weeks ago and the baby was stillborn (after a horrendous labour). His lovely wife was left in the ward with all the happy mothers nursing their babies.
    She was too numb and distressed to say anything - he flipped the lid.

    I thought all the staff on the ground were great and it's just the evil government wrecking the place?

    The majority of the staff on the ground I think (I hope) are probably great. But cr*p like this happens because it's allowed to.

    There's incompetent people in every profession, but with heath care, there needs to be some type of safeguard to stop the incompetence damaging people.

    Radical idea huh..?

    I found out today that I've miscarried.
    I didn't realise I was pregnant to start with & I'm on the pill which I take religiously so I can't figure out how it happened.
    Very strange situation.

    They do indeed. I had a miscarriage and in the bed next to me was a woman with her new baby.
    To top it all off, a doctor said to me "It's for the best, you can enjoy your youth now and come back when you're thirty."
    Nice.
