I had my first son at Sandy in September 09. Despite the out-of-date facilities, the doctors and staff were fantastic throughout the pregnancy and birth. However, I have to say the 2 day stay I had to endure after birth just wasn't good enough. I ended up checking myself out after 2 nights (after c-section)so I could get some rest. As a first time mum I thought I was left unattended, probably due to the fact that the lady next to me needed so much attention. There were some brilliant nurses but also some not so good. I called for assistance with feeding and got a young nurse who was rough and stern. On the second night I was dead on my feet with a 4.85kg hungry screaming baby until 4am before a nurse offered help. She took my son away but brought him back after 30mins saying she couldn't calm him. We didn't think the size of the room would matter as we didn't want visitors to the hospital, however, it was very uncomfortable for my mum and husband through the day. Especially when the family sharing the room has 25 visitors and steals your feeding chair !
