So I'm nearly full term and went in to the AAU for decreased foetal movements a couple of days ago. All was fine though they had to repeat the CTG and I was in there for five hours, midwife was exceptionally lovely and as routine they sent me for a scan.
It turns out baby is really big already compared to my BMI and midwife raised this when she saw the scan results. She gave me a sweep and asked me to come back in the next day to see the consultant to ask if that was going to be an issue. I thought that was sensible!
So I come back the next day for my appointment (my DH takes a day off for this as if there was an induction discussed he wanted to be part of the decision making process) and after waiting an hour I'm ushered into a consultation room. While there I hear the consultant literally shouting at the midwife in the next room saying it was ridiculous I was back in and was asked to see her as everything was normal, and that it was a complete waste of her time.
Another midwife then came into the room and offered me an induction on my EDD because baby was large, which I accepted. The consultant didn't see me at all, which I was fine with.
Now I understand that consultants are busy but I felt so horrendously bad for the midwife who was being told off and felt so responsible - it really bothered me and stressed me out for the rest of the day! It also made me feel like I was something under the consultant's shoe that she couldn't be bothered with. I completely understand that I'm not a high risk, but in my mind the poor midwife was just covering herself professionally and making sure that everything went as smoothly as it could for me, which I think is lovely.
So now I have an induction date, which I'm happy with, and really I should just leave it, but I can't help but feel a sense of righteous indignation and want to make the consultant aware that her actions were distressing both for the midwife and for me (which I suppose she didn't know as she wasn't aware I could hear her). Am I being totally unreasonable?
