Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone had been in a similar situation or had words of advice.
I'm 12 weeks today, and still have no appointments scheduled for either a 12 week scan or a midwife booking appointment. I've been phoning the hospital every other day since 11 weeks to try and chase them up, and been told to basically go away, stop hassling them, my form is in a queue and will be processed in plenty of time.
Well today they finally admitted that they are massively overloaded, my form is still in a pile awaiting processing, and there are no scan appointments available for the next month!
What do I do? I have booked a £40 private basic scan for Sunday, which will just check if baby is alive and measuring the right size, but really can't afford the £190 for a full private nuchal scan.
Can I complain to the hospital? Is there any point? Is a 12 week scan my 'right' or should I count myself lucky that I got one in my first pregnancy?
I am so fed up with my hospital! Anyone else in East London I would advise you to avoid Whipps Cross!
