Weston hospital needs your help! Our maternity department is slowly getting smaller without anyone noticing.
Our
postnatal care department is now closed. Which for all of you lovely ladies who are expecting a baby soon means NO AFTERCARE:
- NO help with breastfeeding.
- NO bonding time with your baby.
- NO recovery time before taking your new bundle of joy home!
- NO help for all the first time mummys out there! Let's face it, it's not a walk in the park!
This is a service I believe we NEED in Weston. As a mother who has been lucky to have used this service a couple of years ago after a c-section in Bristol. I spent a few days back at Weston recovering after the major surgery and bonding with my new baby and also getting lots of amazing advice and tips on breastfeeding..... something of which I kept up with thanks to all of the support I had been given in Weston!
I'm due to give birth any day now and had no idea this service was no longer available. Westons A&E department has already closed. How long will it be before the maternity department closes down all together?
