I'm 22 weeks pregnant, I have a 13month old and the appointment waiting times are ridiculous, so ridiculous that I've been waiting 3h ours and had to leave to get lo home for some food.
I am only consultant led because I have abnormal Pap-a which can mean I am at increased risk of a smaller baby or pre-eclampsia. I'm not worried I had the same marker and was consultant led with my first and there was no problem I was signed off to be midwife led again at 36weeks.
I just don't see the benefits of being consultant led, surely I can be measured by my midwife and blood pressure and samples taken would indicate if there was a problem. But what would they do anyway?
Am I able to refuse to be consultant led and ask to be midwife led?
Thanks
