tara, it sounds like you had a terrible experience at the last hospital. You can contact the maternity coalition about this (they are a consumer advocacy group for maternity services) and they will follow it up on your behalf.
Some of our most supportive members are midwives - Alan, Tiggy and Flowerchild all spring to mind and I truly can't imagine them being so negligent of a patients care. I know there are some horrors out there but overall most midwives are wonderful, caring people and I'm sure that most of them would be horrified to hear about your treatment at your last hospital. You obviously struck a hospital with a dreadful corporate culture and I think that maybe you would benefit from a chance to fully debrief about your expeiences.
