Here’s why I have lost all faith in the NHS this week post miscarriage. But also how I was treated before I knew about it. This is just scratching the surface, so much more has happened.
Don’t get me wrong, there are some INCREDIBLE members of staff in the NHS. I’ve met the most amazing nurses, doctors, gynaecologists, midwives etc… however, everyone is so exhausted from being understaffed and being mistreated that they are unable to do their jobs properly. (Some are just pure rudeness and need sacking to be quite honest)
Before I even had my scan I had been ignored, treated unfairly, pushed to the side and just not listened to. As a mother, I know my body and when something isn’t right. I had this with my first miscarriage too where I wasn’t taken seriously and it was a very traumatic time.
This time around, it’s just been shocking with how some of the staff have treated us. The lack of empathy is beyond belief. Not only that, being surrounded by happy women looking at their pregnancy scans while you’re sat in a waiting area crying due to your loss shouldn’t be happening.
Things need to change, the NHS workers need more support so that they can give more support. But they also need educating on how to treat patients, especially mothers who are grieving from a loss.
I have had hundreds of women message me who are in the same boat as me currently and it’s just shocking. If you’re going through this too, my inbox is always open and I’ve created a channel for us to all comfort one another in these horrible times ❤️🩹
Now it’s time to hopefully be done with the hospital and grieve at home with my family ❤️🩹
