Original feedback for

Royal Preston Hospital



How long how you got

Awful awful awful. Came the door was locked, the lift was out of order. So had to climb the stairs in the middle of having a baby terrible. Should not be ok on a maternity ward to expect that women have to do that on top of everything else. It was hell and to top it off being 7 weeks early after the hospital sending me home in agony the day before! Absolutely awful had to give birth then, to be told I was going to be put on a ward with no babies there was 5. Imagine that your baby is no where near you in an incubator. And you are surrounded by healthy screaming babies, your baby is no where near you because she’s early and she can’t be next to you. It was hell . I discharged myself because of this i was beyond upset at this. It was not right and it was cruel for a first time mum. Really not good. I was then told off my multiple midwife’s saying I had left my baby. No I was in an impossible situation where I wanted to leave and get some rest. I do not regret it after the horrible experience I had to go through at the hands of this hospital.
