Complaint Review: Huntsville Memorial Hospital

I had my daughter on Friday January 13, 2006 at HMH. After I had her by c section i was taken to a room. once i was in my bed i was allowed to see my daughter for the first time.

One of the nurses brought her in and left her there. The entire weekend I was given medication for pain that caused drowsiness. Several nurses came in and out and never took my daughter to the nursery. One nurse told me that they did not take the babies to the nursery on the weekend.

I then asked when was she going to have a bath and a nurse told me they did not bathe them anymore because their skin would get too dry. I was very tired and in alot of pain and i dropped my baby. She was crying and I picked her up and fell asleep. I reported it to the nurse that came in after the weekend but i have not seen any action.
