I have seen my MW once (am 22 weeks) when she booked me in and she asked what kind of birth I wanted.
We had a long talk about my preference for home birth or MLU birth but my fear of a hospital birth and how I'd like to avoid it at all costs.
I was referred to a consultant as its my first baby and my mum MAY have had pre-eclampsia symptoms with her first birth (this is highly unlikely due to the surrounding circs)
My BP has always been perfect and I'm a healthy weight and in my 20s so whilst I know it can happen to anyone, it's nothing to worry about. MW confirmed this and said home birth would still be very much encouraged in my case (we are 5 mins from hospital)
Now I see she has written in my notes that my planned place of birth is the labour ward with consultant led care!! WTF?! Has anyone else had this? Can you make them change it?
She's also ticked that we've discussed breastfeeding - we haven't at all!!
It's really made me panic and not trust her...
