Ok well I wouldn't really do that but am feeling very angry right now.
This is my other half's account. She has autism spectrum disorder and dyspraxia.
We had a cesarean section booked for this Thursday. This morning we recieved a call asking us if we could move it up to tomorrow.
We had a discussion about it, checked whether we could change childcare etc. and my wife agreed after she'd worked it through in her head.
We got everything packed and ready. Sat down five minutes ago and received another phone call.
Our appointment had to get changed to Friday. We were given no choice about this, couldn't change back to our original date. Just a sorry, it's got to be Friday now.
We can't get childcare for Friday though I appreciate this isn't the hospitals problem.
What I am very angry about though is that now my heavily pregnant wife is having the mother of all meltdowns upstairs. She is screaming, banging around and I'm just praying she isn't hurting herself. I can't restrain her obviously and she is immensely strong during these episodes which are actually exceptionally rare these days.
It has been a difficult and complicated pregnancy.
AIBU in thinking that maybe they should have just given a little extra consideration given her disability and not changed dates twice in the space of a few hours?
Should I call PALS, I just want to let someone know what this has caused.

AIBU?
To call up maternity unit and let them hear the meltdown they've just caused my wife.
