AIBU?

to think that a nurse could have the decency to go and let my dad know that I was there instead of making me wait??

Cutting a long story short, (Kind of!)

I get a call early this morning (Aprox 12.45am) from my cousin to say that something is wrong with my mum (Who has been ill since last week) and no can find her or dad.
(Mum had called an aunty in tears and she couldn''t make head nor tail of what she was saying)

So after frantic ringing round I couldn't find her and decided to get DH (Bless him) out of bed to drive me to the hospital to see if they were there.

We gets to the hospital and dads work van was parked in the car park so I know they are there. I go to A&E to ask and they say mum has been admitted to the ward.

I go up to the ward, by this time it is aprox 01.30am, and I speak to a nurse who said yes she is here but she has too many visitors (dad and Bro) so could I wait in the corridoor. I oblige and thank her thinking that she will go and tell my dad that I am here and one of them could come out to let me in to see my mum, or at least dad could come out and tell me what is going on.

But noooooooooo, that would have been to blardy easy for her. I know nurses are very busy people, but what did she think I was doing there at that time of the morning and 9 months heavily pregnant? Did she think I was my jollies ffs.

The nurse then came and asked me to call my cousin who had since called the hospital to let her know what was going on, but how could I when I didn't even know myself what was going on. DH had alrealy called said cousin to say they are here and we will call as soon as we know anything.
So I told the nurse I will call my cousin as soon as I have spoken to my dad or bro and could she at least let them know I was there.

I had waited about 45 minutes ish by this point, and was getting more and more hacked off in the mean time. I mean I wasn't there for a visit ffs, I needed to know what was going on. I needed to know how my mum was.

So AIBU?

Thanks Mummyofgirls, I have just got back from the hospital, they have discharged my mum and she is so well now that she has stopped taking the meds that the gp gave her. She has got gall stones, but feels really well now, she is back to being my old mum again.

Thanks to all of you for listening to my rant, I hope the rest of my week goes by un-eventfull. Unless the baby wants to make an appearance
