Would IBU to complain?
My first 20 week scan was booked for the end of February and was cancelled - rebooked for 13th March when I'll be 22+5. At the time of rebooking the midwife told me that the 14th March was the very last day they would do it as it has to be done by 23 weeks.
They've cancelled the second scan this morning - I've called and been passed around multiple departments for about an hour until a receptionist told me I've been rebooked for 18th April.
I explained I would be 28 weeks pregnant at that point and the scan needs to be done by Thursday, as my midwife advised. The consultant refused to speak to me (he was there as the receptionist kept putting me on hold to speak to him - she even tried to put me through but he wouldn't pick up the phone). He said there's no scans available until 18th April.
They've taken my number and said they will call if there are any cancellations - but I assume those won't be this week.
Feeling pretty devastated - local private scans to me don't offer the anomaly scan, and others further away are £200 ish or have said I'm already too far along at 22 weeks - and they advise you to go back to the NHS anyway if they find anything.
I don't know what to do!
Considering making a complaint to the hospital tomorrow (if I can get through)! I know the NHS is busy but the midwife previously told me it has to be done before 23 weeks and I feel helpless that I'm not able to check on the health of my baby.
Any advice?
