Sorry if this is long but I just feel I need to get it off my chest. I have just had an antenatel appt with the midwife and mentioned I had not had the opportunity to talk to anyone yet about birth choices etc. Quick background, my first DC was born relatively quickly, within 6 hours but was vontuese (sp?) as after almost 3 hours pushing he still hadn't shown. I then had 2 miscarriages within the last 12 months both of which were handled at the same hospital. My due date for this pregnancy is 1 week before the anniversary of my second miscarriage. Every time I go to the hospital I become very anxious and hate being there. When I spoke to the midwife today she explained that they are only allocated 10 minutes for each antenatel so not really time to discuss anything with me but to make a 1-1 appt with the hospital for a tour. They have made me a routine antenatel appointment which I know lasts 10 minutes so don't feel this would be enough time to discuss anything in great detail and I am also worried about taking up too much time from the midwives who I know are already stretched. My last appointment at the hospital I waited almost 2 hours just to have my bloods taken.
Sorry for rambling but I am just feeling very vulnerable and anxious and struggling to find some support. DH is great and will sit and listen but doesn't know what to say. I know it is probably just hormones flying around and lack of sleep making me feel low, I just really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy as we have been through a lot to get here and will definately not be doing it again.
I need to go to work now so will not be able to check in till later tonight but thanks to anyone who has taken the time to read.
