Hello all, I'm 37weeks on wesnesday and on Tuesday I have midwives coming round to go through everything, this is my 3rd baby but first home birth.
Anyway throughout my entire pregnancy I haven't really seen the midwife assigned to me, when I did last she said she may have been going back to work in the hospitals. If she did, she would let us know.
She didn't
So I go to my appointment on Tuesday just gone and there was the rudest midwife there, she just said that my usual one had left, she was incredibly abrupt about everything, every time I tried to explain that I felt I had a uti she spoke over me, even when it showed up in my urine, she questioned the pot I'd given it her in, I had only just got it from behind reception.
Any questions I wanted to ask she just wouldn't answer, I know it sounds silly but she seemed cold and really like she didn't want to be there. Asked if I had any questions then wouldn't answer them,I hoped it was just a one off seeing her, but then she said she might be taking my home birth appointment and be the one who comes here to deliver my baby.
I really really do not want that.
It's making me feel like I don't want to go ahead with my home birth. which obviously don't always go to plan anyway.
Sorry for rambling, but can anyone help, I don't want to see this woman again.

Can I refuse to have midwife at my home and present at home birth?
