Women felt they were not listened to and some reported painful examinations without proper consent at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
Maternity services have already been rated 'inadequate' in a Care Quality Commission report (CQC) published in June.
Now findings from an NHS England visit to Leeds General Infirmary and St James's University Hospital have been made public.
