“At least you’re both alive”.

Had a baby last year and the care my wife got left a lot to be desired. Most of my friends have had a baby in the past couple of years and nearly every one of them has the same experience.
So these various reports coming out on the poor quality of maternity care don’t surprise me at all. I recognise nearly all the bullet points in that article.
