Today, I had my 28 week midwife appointment. Usually I try and book my appointments around pre school or my partners shifts.
Anyway, today I had to take him. He is 3 but has mild autism. He was running around like a mad child, kept opening the door, trapped his fingers in the door and freaked out when we went to the loo (he is fully potty trained but has a fear of unknown toilets for some reason).
She was running late and we were finally called in. He cried and screamed the whole time. I explained the autism and how he trapped his fingers and the toilet but she wasn't impressed. He was stood at the door crying to go home and would not let me cuddle him.
She couldn't hear the heart beat due to his crying and didn't get my bloods done as he was freaking out.
She already had a refferal form ready for health visitor when we went in (routine to see them before birth in my area) but she made it sound like I needed to see her to due to sons behaviour.
He is very rarely like this, but he hurt his fingers and got scared of the toilet. Will they think badly of me?
