I was planning on a home birth and because of that was sticking with my local midwifery centre despite them being rather clueless eg. ordering wrong bloods, never reading notes etc. They were the only ones who would attend my home.
I had a fall yesterday and therefore a scan and it showed possible polyhydramniosis (excess amniotic fluid). This was at St Thomas near my work (major London teaching hospital). They said they would call my doctor to arrange more tests the next day and spent some time on the phone before apologetically saying that the hospital where I was booked would not do an ECG or another scan or a GTT until I had seen the consultant next Tuesday (if at all). The supervisor at St Thomas was very apologetic and said if I had been their patient I would have been brought in the next day.
Anyway, given that I may have pg complications and thus not have a home birth I am seriously considering switching hospitals eg to St Thomas which would be more convenient for all the extra monitoring (near work) and has better reputation and seems more on the ball.
Has anyone switched hosps at around 34 weeks?
