Hi guys,
bit of a rant i am afraid. Got to see midwife today, had a couple of complications through pregnancy so have seen them very regularly (am now 35 weeks). I am a single mum and this is my first child and i am SO PIXXED off with my antenatal care right now.
I HAVE Never seen the same midwife twice, they have cocked up all of my test results, and when i went last week they had neglected to mention a need for anti d injection - then acted like i should know about it. The girls i saw went on and on about how i dont have a birth partner and where was the father - despite the fact that this information is in my notes along with a message not to ask me again - and then panicked me totally by sending me to hospital immediately for more tests because they werent sure the baby was growing right. Thus taking me out of work and thoroughly scaring the hell out of me. When i got there though, the woman i saw treated me like a moron and was so patronising and rude like i should know that obviously it was nothing to worry about that my baby hasnt apparently grown for over four weeks and why was i worried? then she bloody asked about a birth partner - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg. Not looking forward to this afternoon at all and i am just so cross. I know i am young (23) but not stupid and just wish there would be some consistency in my care - does anyone else feel like this??????
