To be extremely pissed off with my midwife

basically I asked for an extra appt with my midwife to discuss somethings I had on my mind (in particular if my pregnancy is high risk, due to the fact I'm only 15, where I can give birth as im 19 miles from any hospital that has a labor ward, if homebirthing is an option etc) we then got onto the subject of breast feeding and life in the first few days after birth. these were some comments she made.
"you wont breast feed because you are too young" "it would be stupid to try to breast feed you will most likely get post natal depression and it would make you suicidal with the extra pressure as opposed to if you bottlefed" "You shouldnt even try to breast feed it doesnt matter what you want its about whats best for baby" as a whole im very annoyed, frustrated, a bit angry and quite insecure now :( Am i being sensitive or is she just a dick? IMO shes unprofessional at best.

Evening all.
First off, congratulations on your pregnancy OP Flowers. Hope you are keeping well.

Just wanted to point out that we have deleted a few posts, as Troll Hunting season has not begun. (Think it kicks in once Hell Freezes Over). Thanks to all who reported.

Please remember that MN is a place for parents to meet online, share advice, ideas, and offer support to others. Please play naicely, as they say round these parts. Grin
