We live in a small hamlet between two villages Wroughton and Chiseldon, and the regular midwife I see in Chiseldon has been a right pain in the arse throughout my pregnancy. Then Ds arrived on Friday - totally gorgeous and we're over the moon. We saw her superior on Sunday who was lovely for our day 2 check up. She warned us that if my usual midwife phoned complaining that she couldn't make it because of the snow, that she had managed to come up to us so she shouldn't have any problems.
As expected, we had a phone call on Monday from my usual midwife trying to get us to come to her at the clinic in Wroughton with a 3 day old baby because she was worried about getting stuck in the snow. We relayed th message from her superior and reluctantly she came up to see us in the afternoon (but she abandoned her car in a really dangerous place and caused complaint from other residents who were worried about hitting it). But she said that if the snow go worse she did't think she'd make it out to see us today.
We had more snow overnight, but not a huge amount. Midwife has just phoned again to say that she's made it to the clinic in Wroughton (how convenient) but her car is now stuck in snow. Could we make it to come and see her at the clinic. What if we get stuck in the snow? Clearly that does't matter to her. I said we didn't want to go out just in case. She said that it will probably get better by this afternoon so she'll phone back and see if we can make it later. But she hasn't offered to try coming up here to see us later. Alternatively we could see a different midwife tomorrow.
Ds needs to have his heal prick test done in the next 3 days. Do we venture out, stay here out of principle if nothing else or wait to see someone else tomorrow?
I'm really cross because she's so lazy and she expects us to venture out with a 5 day old, but maybe it's just me beig on my high horse. I don't want ds to miss out on an important test and weigh in.
