midwife not listening to me

Now overdue with my fourth baby. Waters dried out with all three of my others and was assurred at the beginning of this pregnancy by the consultant that if there were concerns near the end, I would be given a scan to check. Showing all the same symptoms again as with the others but midwife took three weeks of my constantly phoning her before she would refer me back to the consultant to ask to be checked. Appointment isn't until the day before I am due to be induced anyway. Feel like this has been done on purpose, but don't know what I can do about it.

2nd child is now special needs due to complications at birth cause of no waters; all were back to back, as is this one, no water left with first three, had to be induced with first three and no signs of anything happening this time, 2nd child had shoulder dytocia and birth hypoxia also because he got stuck.

Wanted to be induced on my due date, as I was with my 3rd child to stop baby getting too big and getting stuck again. Due to such a late appointment with the consultant that isn't going to be possible though.

Midwife hasn't seen me since 36 weeks and I am now 41 weeks. She cancelled the last two appointments.

Congratulations NAR4! A healthy baby girl!

You've been treated appallingly, but thankfully it has all turned out happily in the end. If I were you I'd put in a formal complaint though.
