Soosy, I hope you get the call soon, I hate waiting for the phone to ring
Majormoo, it doesn't sound like you are having a good day either, sorry you lost your memory card
Willmouse, I agree with Soosy, you should do a test, it is worrying me too to be honest. I am glad that you feel better for having made a decision about the tablets, plus a good bit of detective work! Oh, I had the unfortunate "pleasure" of speaking directly to Miss Dixon this afternoon. Lets just says she has the manorisms of a bull elephant. Full story to follow in a sec to bore you all with.
I have had a bad afternoon. I am fed up with the NHS, if I EVER do pregnancy again, I will wait until I have scraped together enough money for fully private antenatal care. I am honestly shocked and appauled at my treatment from the hospital so far. Most of you know the saga re the referal for the fetal echocardiogram so far, so I won't repeat myself (any newbies wanting to know, please ask!) I have spent the last 2 weeks chasing and chasing the referal. Last week the OB's secretary told me that my notes had been filed away, no mention of needing a referal. She said that she would get the OB to dictate the letter ASAP and fax it to Birmingham Women's. I called Birmingham on Friday to be told that no fax had been recieved. So I call the OB's secretary again today and actually got......the OB, who was as rude as they come. She knew nothing about anything according to her, had no way of looking up my file (even though I gave her my hospital number) and told me they fetal echo wouldn't be done until 28 weeks anyway, even though I was told in March I would need to be seen between 18 & 22 weeks. As I am 18 weeks today and think that up until this point I have been more than patient, I literally let rip to the OB. I told her the care that I have recieved so far this pregnancy has been diabolically shocking and that she can expect a complaint coming in about my treatment in due course. She did try and say something after that, but I am afraid I was so angry, I put the phone down
I tried all sorts of people at my hospital today, but it is a bad week for getting hold of people, they are off on hols or at home with the kids, can't blame them! The OB's secretary is away until monday, as is the antenatal screening coordinator. In desperation I called the head of midwifery told her the whole sorry story, gave her all my details as well as DS2's details and low and behold, she called me back not 10 minutes later to say that she had spoke with the OB who was dictating my letter as she was speaking with me. It will be typed and faxed tomorrow.
Sounds like a result, but I was told this last week too, so I will call Brum again on Friday and see if anything actually arrives. Unfortunately, according to my conversation with the fetal medical centre at Birmingham women's today, there is a waiting list for cardiac related checks for baby, so it is unlikely I will get in at around 20 weeks, I am away for a week at 21 weeks, so the earliest I could get in is nearly 23 weeks. I realy hoped to have had my my put at ease before we went away so I can finally, truely relax for a while. I am desperately trying to keep my stress levels under control, but it is sooo hard. Like I said to the head of midwifery, it isn't that I couldn't cope with another child like ds2, but knowing in advance would be a huge bonus. Thankfully, I am sure baby is fine, although has been reacting to my emotions this afternoon and had a wriggle about, which it doesn't normally do in the afternoon. Fingers crossed for Friday or heads really will roll.
