I'll try and be brief, sorry.
Basically, I am now 20+5 pregnant with twins. The waters around twin 1 broke at 14+5 and it was expected I would miscarry within a few days as that is what happen sin most cases. However, obviously things are OK for now, although there is some uncertaintly about whether twin 1 can survive outside the womb as the lungs can't develop properly without amniotic fluid.
Aside from that, the biggest risk to the pregnancy now is infection, so I am having bloods taken three times a week and urine tested at the same time to check for this. I am also on oral antibiotics 4 times a day until delivery. I was having bloods taken at the hospital, but now someone is coming out to do bloods at home as I am on bedrest in an attempt to keep what amniotic fluid is being produced inside for as long as possible. The samne midwife is coming each time and it is her I have a problem with.
The first time I saw said midwife she hadn't even looked at my notes and thought I was there as I had a UTI. She then didn't know what vials to use for the blood tests, so asked my husband and I. Then, when asked, she checked my previous blood results and as the CRP levels were raised (one of the ways they can check for infection, ut it was early days then and I didn't know) I asked her what they were and she looked it up on Wikipedia in front of me, then told me not to worry I could discuss with the consultant at my appointment the next day. Obviously I did worry as she hadn't even known what CRP meant!
On Monda she came out and gave me an evelope with test results in. I looked at them and septn few seconds looking at results for tests I didn't remember having (swabs) then realised they had someone else's name at the top and weren't mine! Today she came out and had forgotten my blood results from Weds. She then put the vials of blood she had taken today in her pocket as she didn't have the correct envelope for them. She rang with Weds blood results this afternoon and all three things they check for were raised. She also said they were 'fine' but I am not sure if she even checked with the consultant, which is what they are meant to do if bloods are raised. Then she said that shehadn't sent today's bloods in time (they are meant to go at 10am although they can send them at 2pm if they miss that, but she missed both) so I haven't got the results of todays yet, which I feel is important as obviously if they have gone up again since Wed it might well be a cause for concern and I would need to be treated.
Sorry this is so long. I just feel like I should complain about the midwife's basic lack of competance and professionalism when I see the consultant next week. I don't feel she is that knowledgable about the situation with my pregnancy or taking it seriously enough and not doing her job properly which means that my babies, myself and my ability to get pregnant in future are being put at risk. (If I do get an infection it might mean I can't get pregnant again). But AIBU?
