Terrible service (won’t step in to Fourways)

At 22 weeks pregnant I was bleeding and went into the casualty. I explain the situation 1. Have a stitch 2. Can’t walk 3. Bleeding

They made me walk to my bed. Walk to pee walk for a urine sample walk from nurse to station back to nurse. The attending doctor took a history told me my gynae would meet me in the ward in 20minutes opened my legs obviously saw bleeding but with a cervical exam I’m not sure what she was looking at . I was admitted to the surgical ward had to pee in a bed pan in front of a lady and her hubby rewind a little…… I got to the ward no beds had to wait my husband waited for me for hours I heard the nurses complaining on the phone that I’m complaining. No issues I only got a drip in pain meds at 9 almost 10 after arriving at 3/4 . After getting discharged that night cramps came back I was fully dialated I went to morningside medi they wheeled me in straight to maternity I could cry she put up a drip some anti cramping medication I slept waiting for the doctor . I had this lovely midwife taking care of me she would touch my belly confirm contractions hold me to the bathroom she went as far as smelling the bloood to check for other things they really really tried to help me. I wouldn’t say the nurses at Fourways are bad but it’s a surgical ward but the lead time and lack of care is terrible
