Cloey that's fucking disgraceful, please complain

Unfortunately I didn't get her name but I do think I will try again to change the appt to a day/time that works as the 30th means I will have to go alone (OH has no time left to take off work and I've no family/close friends over here). To be honest I found it strange at the time, when I spoke to my MIL she was horrified and now you guys reaction has affirmed for me that it was well off. So thanks, although I do feel a bit shit about it all now 😢

LRD & tutu thank you! DH is in the navy so we've had a postponed honeymoon - married in April but he's on his summer hols from tomorrow so off we go! I'm currently 9+6, and away until exactly 13 in Malaysia so no chance of a scan before then.

Cloey that's absolutely disgraceful of that person - I'd make a complaint if you've got the record of the time you called?? Tantamount to some form of discrimination, surely?

Cloey
If you can remember the day and time you called (or if it's in your phone log), they will be able to work out who you spoke to, because there will be a record of the person who accessed your record to change the appointment.

I'm 10+2 and today have bought some mat jeans (2 sizes bigger than last time 😳) is it too early to give in to the temptation??

Thanks namechange for sorting a spreadsheet - I've put my deets in

Gin I've been wearing mine since 9 weeks, don't make yourself uncomfortable!

Oh my goodness Cloey!! How dare she!! What an awful awful experience. They were nice as pie to me when I called, bent over backwards to help, nothing was too much trouble.
I take very personal umbridge to the racist Irish comment (three of my grandparents are Irish)
PLANNING A TERMINATION, No!!! I've never been asked that. Where are the offices I feel like marching down there.
You need to call up tomorrow and ask to speak to a manager, explain what's happened to you and say you want to put in a formal complaint.
What's she on about they'd have to rescan you? What about people who go and their dates are slightly out and they are measuring 11 weeks instead of 12, do they rescan them? Erm no!! I'm truly outraged!!

Holy crap Cloey, I'd make a complaint for sure, and I'm really not one for complaining. That's horrendous!

Tutu my scan is the same day as yours, I'm both excited and incredibly anxious.

tutu at my booking appointment she just said ul get a letter in the post with your scan date on that was last week.
Thanx namechange hopefully will come thru this week then. I juat want to see it again

Cloey that is awful treatment and the Irish/termination joke is horrible and I would be taking that further xx

Blimey, name, there's a terrifying thought!

That is horrendous Cloey. I would be contacting PALS to complain and get the appointment changed. Like others have said, they can probably find out from the electronic audit trail who accessed your electronic records at the time of the phone call.

Sorry, hadn't caught up - WTF, cloey, that's awful! How rude.

And, it occurs to me, actually very worrying if this is her general attitude to Irish patients - which presumably it would be - as there must be people who are in need of terminations at a late stage, usually for very tragic reasons. Imagine being in that situation and having someone sneer at you.

On a nicer note, charley, hope you have a brilliant time!

green I didn't get the impression asking about a termination was a joke, the joke was in relation to my (v Irish sounding) name. The termination question was just a question, tbh every appointment (including an emergancy scan at 7 weeks, two different GPs and booking in midwife) I've been to they've asked me about termination but I thought it was more of a letting you know your options thing?

Hello,

Mind if I join? I've been following you since the beginning but too nervous to join in until now - silly to be so worried about jinxing things but hey!

I'm also due right at the end of Feb, but the ladies in the Feb thread seemed much further along than me! Here are my stats:

Name: Wanderlust33
Age: 33
EDD: 27 Feb
DC1

Really sorry to read about all the ladies having a rocky time at the moment - I've got my fingers crossed for you all.

I have my 12-week scan on Wednesday morning, and I'm scared something will be wrong. I've had four scans so far - eek! - as I had spotting and was put on the PRISM drug trial, so I guess I know there is definitely a baby in there but just worried if he/she's doing OK in there.

Anyway, hello! Sorry for lurking for so long.

Cloey complain!
xenophobia is wrong!

(Welsh, and never been asked that! and this is my 6th pregnancy)

Sorry cloey I misunderstood. Iv not been asked about termination at all. Just was I happy about being pregnant then moved on to other questions. I would still complain about her general attitude and hope I don't have the same lady if I have to change mine as mines very irish too!x

Can I ask a daft question? Re dating scans.
The last two pregnancys I've gone for my scans at either exactly 12 weeks or a few days before 12 weeks. My dates are accurate as I have a regular 28 day cycle. So, when I go to the dating scans on both occasions they have put me forward to 13 weeks. I always wonder how is this possible when I'd have had a period when pregnant if that was the case.
I know biology isn't my strong point but I just don't get it. Can someone explain this to me?

All I've been asked it whether it's a planned pregnancy. Nobody has even mentioned termination.

Welcome Wander!

Just checking in. Will add myself to the stats spreadsheet after my scan on 25th - want to make sure there's a live healthy baby in there first, and get my 'official' EDD from the dating scan.

Good luck to those with scans coming up this week - it's very exciting!

Cloey please complain! She should not have made you feel that way. As others have suggested, going through PALS is a good idea.

Noisy sorry to hear about your HG. I've felt bad enough with constant nausea and being sick a couple of times a day - I just can't imagine having HG, it must be impossible to function. I hope the meds help and it passes soon. Look after yourself

cloey I was asked if I wanted to go ahead with the pregnancy when I rang to book my first appointment with the midwife (by the receptionist), she apologised for asking though and said she had to ask in case I wasn't planning to in which case the next step would have been different. But that's obviously different to being asked multiple times at different appointments and as part of a conversation that wasn't very nice for you anyway. I'm sorry that you've been treated so badly, definitely complain. And you'd be fine to go for your 12 week scan up to 13+6 I believe. It's the nuchal measurements that can be difficult after that and would mean having a different test later on as far as I know.

green Irish and due on St Patrick's Day - love it! 😊☘🍻

That's awful cloey! Midwives where I am could not have been nicer when I called to book in. Hope ur experiences improves at next appointments.

I realised the other day my current Edd is Mother's Day!

Thanx name I'm taking it as a good luck sign. just means il be celebrating it differently from now on!
