  My wife had our first child at Nepean and we were impressed with the service overall. Lots of training and support from many nurses and midwives. One concern was the labour guidance which contracted the anti-natal classes we had. Firstly, we were to,d if needing pain relief from the gas, you should have it between contractions so it has time to take effect when the contraction occurs. During labour we were told the opposition. Secondly, we were told to control the pushing to prevent tearing but in labour my wife was told to push when ever she like and as such ended up with 5 stitches.
  
  Sadly though I could only give 4 stars due to the service of one African nurse when our baby was just one day old.I was disgusted, shocked and angry to hear from my wife that our newborn baby was shaken by this nurse, more specifically shook our baby girl's head continuously for up to 30 seconds. Even a child knows not to shake a baby's head so I found this hard to understand. Please be very aware of who holds your baby and as I said, this nurse was wearing a light blue coloured uniform and was dark skinned and of African appearance. Be warned!!! We now await several years to know whether any brain damage occurred in this brief 30 seconds. Seriously though, we spent 9 months prot ting our little one and within moments a nurse does this.
