Just been thinking about when I had Leah, and thought I'd see what you think.
She got stuck so I signed the form for a c-section incase forceps didn't work. So they took me down to theatre and took my mum to go and get changed into theatre clothes.
She tld me afterwards, that the room she went into was just like a cloak room, all musty smells and smells as thought clothes haven't been washed in ages.
She said the theatre clothes were strewn all over the floor and on hooks on the wall, and a load of dirty theatre shoes were piled up on the floor and she said it stank.
They told her to put the clothes on, and my mum said to her, "Where can I wash my hands?" and the midwife replied, "oh it doesn't matter we need to get her down quick."
The only thing that was new, was the theatre hat which was taken out of a dispenser on the wall.
WTF!? I am about to get operated on and they wear dirty old musty clothes, and don't wash their hands? Is that even legal?
My mum only told me about this aftewards of course, but she was really shocked and was expecting new theatre clothes in plastic bags to at least keep them sterile, but when they had finished, the clothes were just thrown back on the floor... midwifes too.
What was the point in even getting changed? It was probably more safer for my mum to keep her own clothes on!
Come on, tell me I'm right lol
