I gave birth on the 6th to a lovely baby daughter and was also really badly treated in the Fetal Assement Unit as when I was 41 weeks +. I have started the complaint procedure and a midwife called to say someone will visit me at home to discuss my case. I have already asked for a copy of my file and wondered whether you were happy with what you acchieved with your complaint or if you have any further advice for me? Many thanks Anke Dear Deborah,

Your list is very helpful for people who are ever in the same position. Well done for persevering with it and getting them to respond and actually take some action.

Did you write about what happened before and I totally missed it?? If not, that's fine - just wanted to make sure I'm not going crazy. And P.S. sleeping in a tent is also NOT my idea of a fun get away, trust me. I had to indulge the husband a little since I "dragged" him to music fest :) Not romantic at all in Lugano in the summer. Holy hotness. Way to do what you really felt you needed to do! Did you write about what happened before and I totally missed it?? If not, that’s fine – just wanted to make sure I’m not going crazy.

So many women are too scared to speak out about the poor level of care they recieve from NHS midwives. Yes, there are some fantastic midwives out there and we are generally very lucky in the UK to have well trained and regulated midwifery care, but there are some who let the profession down. Hopefully someone will see the good result you have had and take their own complaint forward Well done you.

I work for the NHS and know that change does happen through complaints being made. We had issues with our Stroke Unit and massive changes were made following a number of complaints. I have encouraged a couple of friends to complain about issues they have had but who unfortunately are worried about the level of care their relatives would receive following the complaint, had they made it so unfortunately have done nothing - one of these being a cancer ward...Good for you Well done.
