A lot of discussion about maternity care so I will now air a frustration

If a person was in hospital for any other reason other than LABOUR/BIRTH/SECTION would they be expected to endure the levels of pain women in those situations are?
Women are sharing story after story of their pain being down played

It should be no different. Pain relief until pain is controlled just as anyone else in hospital would be offered.

Until people get their head round this simple fact mothers horrendous experiences will continue
It is absolutely not OK to treat birthing women differently with regards to pain relief

It makes my blood absolutely boil
Stop labelling them as (these are just some I’ve heard):

- anxious
- low pain threshold
- troublesome
- not coping

No shit Sherlock. Absolutely ridiculous reasoning away pain relief.
