Hi mn. I'm brand new here but really need some advice...
My baby is just over 5 weeks old. I had a fairly awful birth and pregnancy which I don't particularly want to discuss. I'm upset by it and feel let down.
I'm just looking at my purple notes, and realised that the mental health assessment is completely fabricated.
The midwife has ticked 'no' to all of the boxes, so it now shows that I have never had a mental health problem, never had anxiety, never been on medication, never had counselling, and hadn't suffered with anxiety or worry in the two weeks prior to the birth. They also ticked no to whether my partner has mh problems (he hasn't but they don't know thus) and that I have no history of mental health in my family (my mum suffered from PND). This is all incorrect and I actually have a long history of mental health struggles.
It states at the bottom that I might've received support (which I feel I actually needed) had they ticked 'yes'
If they had left the questionnaires blank, I could have forgiven that, but they've just filled it in for me, guessed I have no mental health history, and essentially fabricated my medical records. This has denied me of potential help, and funnily enough, I'm suffering hugely from post natal anxiety and have no idea what to do.
Is this normal? AIBU to be as angry and upset as I am? I've been failed from start to finish and feel that this is just the cherry on top...
