12days post birth with my daughter. Give birth and had a 4th degree tear (seems to be healing quite well but I need stitches to be checked at this visit) . Breastfeeding but my baby only lost 4% weight at day 3. Due to be weighed during this visit.
although I feel like I’m doing very well ( have a very supportive family and husband), I suffered with post partum psychosis with my previous daughter. Ended up admitted to a mother and baby unit so I am classed as needing additional support.
day 10 - visit was due but they rung to say they were too busy and I was a low priority. I said fine and they said they’d call tomorrow.
day 11. Again too busy and they’d call tomorrow.
day 12 - waited all day today again and no phone call or anything. Rang the contact number at 4pm and the phone was turned off. Rang the birthing unit (where they have a vase) and said I didn’t have a name next to my mine so I wasn’t allocated anyone. They couldn’t tell me when I’d have a visit or anything.
I’ve spent 3 days at home waiting and still no visit. I gave questions, breastfeeding latch issues and I’m not feeling great mental health wise.
am I right to be annoyed or is this normal practice for community midwives????
