Third pregnancy, mw at booking referred me to consultant as 2nd pregnancy
-group b strep
-baby at 36 weeks/ PPROM
-pph (1000ml)
Pregnancy before no issues, and I'm healthy, low bmi/ bp always.
Actually turned out to be quite reassuring at 16 weeks. She crossed out the group b strep stuff, saying it was only policy to give ABs if detected in current pregnancy, wasn't concerned at the mildly preterm dates at all, quite relaxed about the pph last time, even saying she had no problem with MLU and writing this in notes. Didn't even get previous notes, an informal chat and quick scan.
I was pleased to have no extra monitoring and be reassured, I was surprised to be referred at all. But she booked me in to see her again at 36 weeks. In retrospect I wondered what the point of this is? Group b not an issue, even if preterm was an issue I'd have given birth by then and the pph thing won't change from here to now if she's alright with a MLU now.
Genuinely wondering why not just send me back to m/w care, than see me at the beginning and end. Not ungrateful, I'll go, but why...?
