It’s unfortunate that your midwives were not fully focused on supporting you during labor. It’s important for medical professionals to prioritize their patients’ needs, regardless of the time of year.SexDollTech

You should have spoken up. If they don’t know how you’re feeling, how can you expect them to fix it?

Having a Christmas baby was different for me. Your midwife (or midwives), some of whom are absolutely appalling, was likely to blame. geometry dash

You could consider to make a complaint

I had a Christmas baby but didn’t have this experience. I have to say it was probably your midwife/s at fault – some of them are horrendous.

It’s a big deal to you, but we found for others the birth of a child near Christmas was annoying and distracting, like it was going to effect their Christmas plans!!! It’s a busy time of year so it seemed like an extra inconvenience to others.

Sorry this was your experience.

Hospitals should have processes for feedback if you have concerns.

Sorry, that doesn’t sound like a nice experience and I think it’s unprofessional too

I think this could happen any time of year, it’s really about the midwives. To put this in perspective, it could be a lot worse. My midwife neglected to check dilation hardly at all, and I nearly had my baby on the fitball!!! I mean I was clearly in advanced labour (first and only baby) looking back, I couldn’t keep my breath the pain was so regular and intense but still no checking by her. It’s a balance on what you need for the birth, I’d probably raise it early for your next baby when you go in to say that you had ‘this’ experience and it really put you off and made you feel like you weren’t properly cared for. (or whatever you felt)

Have never experienced anything like this, only discussion about my births.
