I live about equidistant between three hospitals. The one I have chosen isn't in my county and so I am considered 'out of area' by the hospital.
I've had my booking appointment with the hospital and they have told me I will have my scans and tests there but all other antenatal appointments will be arranged with a midwife through my GP Surgery. When I rang my GP surgery the receptionist said she didn't know how to do this and referred me to the Trust website (for the hospital I am not going to!!)
I find it hard to believe that I'm the first woman in my area not to have chosen the hospital that's technically linked to the surgery!
Other than being extremely firm on the phone to GP and insisting I get a midwife has anyone else experienced this? Am I missing something like should the hospital refer me back to my GP? It all seems quite long winded and complicated at the moment. I see lots of people on here say they called or texted 'their midwife' but I don't have one!
