July 2015 Moms

Episiotomy gone wrong 4 weeks PP:(

I had my beautiful baby boy on the 20th july had to be induced due to being overdue by 1 and a half week. I had a quick labour 1 hour and 37 mins with just gas and air was thankful and greatful the pain is over but I was so wrong:'(

I had to have a cut and it was all done by a student midwife who took a hour and did not know what she was doing and was left unattended most of time by the supervising midwife. Little did I know due to being fazed by gas and being a first time mum.

She stitched me up but after a couple of days pain started increasing could not sit stand pick feed change my little boy. A very emotional 1 week was spent in hospital as I couldnt cope after my partner and family went home. I just wanted to go home.

Stitches got infected and was told my stitches were coming undone skin was opening up. Was put on antibiotics, now 4 weeks pp back on antibiotics still infected skin still open very painful cant sit stand hold feed change my little one.

Will I ever heal and how are things going to be for the future?

Sorry for the long post x

  • I'm not typically one for suing but that sounds completely unacceptable. If it was actually a medical mistake then someone needs to do something to make it right asap and they should be insanely kind to you in the process. :-/ thoughts and prayers your way for a speedy recovery.

  • Yup! Sue the bitch!!! Just sayin...
  • That does not sound normal! Might what to consult a second opinion and lawyer. Sadly! The teaching midwife shouldn't leave them alone to do things like that.
  • Yes that is horrible! I agree, contact a lawyer and also file a complaint against your midwife, a student should never have been left alone for that. So sorry you're going through this!
