I am not sure if I am being unreasonable but I am annoyed after my midwife appointment today. I have not seen her for about 9 weeks - I last saw her when I was 30 weeks pregnant (she has had a busy schedule which I appreciate) and I am now 39 weeks pregnant. I was hoping to use it as an opportunity to discuss my birth plan, get an idea on how I know if I am in labour, what happens if I go past my due date, etc.
Instead she told me to research these things online (I already have done so and thought that as a midwife she might be able to give me a bit more advice) and refused to go through a birth plan with me and told me I needed to write one up at home and take it with me to hospital. I am a first time mum so not sure what the procedure was but was hoping for a little bit of support. AIBU? I might be, I know there are lots of people in a worse position than me - I was just so disappointed and wonder why she wanted to see me. My appointment lasted about 10 minutes where my blood pressure, weight, and fetal heartbeat was monitored and that was it.
