Save Raigmore Maternity Beds

I couldn't agree more all together I was in hospital for 5 weeks due to pre eclampsia and due to this my son was born 6 and a half weeks early, I was taken by ambulance to Glasgow as there was a shortage of scbu cots and I have never felt soooooo alone in all my life, I ended up with post natal depression and took a long time to bond with my son, however I cannot fault all the staff at raigmore they acted within their means, but my story highlights the effect of further travel for new mums, what I ask is the people who are making the decisions, do they have children or ever had!!! They are selfish and have no idea the impact that this would have on mums, I am sooooooo angered by this. Most of my time was spent at raigmore and when I got flown back from Glasgow they literally welcomed me with open arms, the ward was full practically the whole time I was there, the midwives were amazing and there support during my time there I feel helped me eventually combat my post natal depression, my extended tip being a first time mum with pre eclampsia and no one able to visit as too far away, this is what they are aiming towards, bunch of beurocratic pigs, I am truly disgusted! My son is 5 now and we hv a truly amazing bond.
