well was asked to go into today to get checked as had a persistent pain the top of my bump and a hard lump there for at least a week now.
its just under my ribs. Im 21+6
first of all was told they couldn't see me as hospital was full, that may have to go to antoher hospital that was about 15miles away. They called back said that hospital also full so to come there but may be a wait.
This is a new multi million pound state of the art hospital. Which obviously cannot cope, lots of mums have transferred to use the new facilities, and lots of labouring local mums are being turned away as they are 'full'
anyway, after two hours wait a midwife saw me took bp, temp, urine and listened heartbeat. All ok. Dh left to pick up younger dc from school. MW said doctor was on rounds and would see me asap. Three hours later no doc, i dishcarged myself. Im still suffering ms, was freezing cold, needed a drink and was desperate to get home. MW's were quite insistent i stayed, but i explained that dh couldn't collect me any later and we had no idea how long doc would be.
Sorry for long rambling post just feel let down again by nhs, or am i unreasonable in expecting to have been seen within 5hrs?
I am now not feeling confident in any care that i may receive at this hospital. I have low lying placenta and have scan at 34w am hoping it moves as wouldn't want to go back in for a CS, am now considering a hb.
Still in pain, still no idea whats wrong, just taking comfort in fact that bp was ok, and am still feeling lots of movements.
