I had premature twins and was a first time mother. The sympathy I received when my boys were screaming and I couldn't cope was pitiful. I was left to figure things out for myself and made to feel incompetent by the staff on ward 2. I'd had an epidural and felt incredibly unwell but despite my numerous requests to see a doctor no one came until the very last day of my stay because I made an official complaint. In the end I discharged myself as I felt I would receive more help and care at home. Huge disappointment, not recommended.
