So, saw my midwife today after being in the daycase unit over the weekend for sudden swelling in my hands and feet (bp, baby, urine etc all ok) Todays midwife was not my usual as I've recently moved to another catchment area, she got her student to check my BP, and when i proceeded to explain that Ive had increased discharge, intense and crippling back and lower abdominal pain, and that something just doesnt feel right she didnt do any further checks or ask any questions, just went on a LONG waffle about how I'm 'carrying a bit more weight' so should expect to be crippled by the end of pregnancy and that I couldnt take any more than regular paracetamol and that I would just have to 'get on with it'. Im in tears and feel so angry, and am not sure what to do as I feel like she just didnt care what I had to say. Am I being over sensitive? should I request another midwife?
ALSO after she read that I am actually a staff nurse she proceeded to go into great detail how much paracetamol I should take daily and other drugs that could interact with it patronising cow!
