I just had a traumatic 28 week appt with the midwife, who is aware of my OCD. I was clearly pretty frickin distressed on arrival but she said if I didn't get my bloods done there and then I would be put down as refused. I said I was frightened and I would travel anywhere to get them done in the next couple of days but she insisted it was now or never. Then she refused to wash her hands again even though I explained I really needed her to as she'd touched unsterilized equipment, she kept talking about how many other people were waiting but in the time she argued with me she could have washed her bloomin hands again ffs. Especially as then somebody had to put pressure on the puncture, I sobbed all the while she took bloods and then she went to press on the wound with her unwashed hands and I was so scared DH got up, washed his hands and put pressure on the wound. I'm so scared to go back, she talked about getting 'help for the baby' when it comes which I guess means social services because she doesn't think I could change a nappy. Even though the whole appointment would have taken no extra time and minimal fuss if she'd appreciated my ocd and just washed her hands like I asked.
