"my waters were leaking from 17 weeks, but they would not believe me"

A mother’s experience of Oxford University Hospitals Maternity Services in 2008-2009:

I was pregnant with identical twin boys so many hospital visits as my waters were leaking from 17 weeks, but they would not believe me. I was finally admitted to hospital at 27 weeks because waters were still leaking – now they believed me.

One day I remember clearly a midwife called dr because one of baby’s heart rates did not look right, this was few days before I went into premature labour at 29 weeks. The dr dismissed her worries right in front of me and said we can't rush everyone in for C-section.

Few days later I went into premature labour and lost one of the baby's after 6 hours alive.
