ARGH!! I'm so angry with my midwife.
She's mucho abrupt and as a consequence I brought my husband along this time (it's the first time he's been able to attend).... he's generally pretty chilled out but found her unhelpful.
She completely failed to acknowledge my husband.
So I've been having pelvic pains but as I went to an emergency Drs appointment a couple of weeks ago and they told me that I hadn't got a UTI I assumed it was just pregnancy stuff. So I told her about my pelvic pain and she basically tells me off for not having been to my Drs (even tho I explained the above). She also had a go because apparently my urine is too concentrated ('you're not drinking enough, you could be harming your baby'). Even when I explained I'd already had a pint and a half of fluid before doing my sample she still told me off.
She let the student midwife sit in, without asking, and asked her to examine me, again without asking. This is now the second of three appointments I've effectively had a student midwife do without my permission.
She fails to explain anything fully to me. She laughed about the fact that the new government are likely to get rid of the HIP grant which 'probably means you won't get it'.... because she won't give me my form before my 28 week appointment.
She didn't say a word about my 28 week bloods, so unless I book an appointment then I wouldn't get it
Oh and from my notes she obviously thinks the gestation period is a year... as apparently I'm now on week 23 of 52. Grrr
