Yeah... it's not the same. I know that a lot of babies do go in there because they are seriously ill (don't get me wrong) but Gabby just didn't need to be in there. She was only there because they didn't have enough staff to look after me and her overnight. Not my problem... but I didn't know any better at the time. It looked so wrong seeing a massive 8lb baby next to 4lb twins (that were 7 weeks old already!). She just didn't look like she belonged.
The staff were pretty rude to me too. They weren't very helpful when I was down there. I know they were busy but I'd also just had major surgery, was spaced-out on drugs and didn't know where all the nappy stuff was! Arrgh...
