I have no experience with c/s, but what you say doesn't surprise me, sadly. A friend of mine went into early labour at 22 weeks, they managed to stop it thankfully. She was in hospital on complete bed rest, and the first sponge bath she had was when a group of her other girlfriends got together to cheer her up and do her hair and nails etc. This was a WEEK after being admitted - so she'd been laying in the same bed, same clothes, slowly leaking amniotic fluid for a week, and they did nothing. Absolutely shocking.
