RANT ATTACK: Meant to be in my notes that i suffer from depression and anxiety attacks, my baby has possible kidney and bladder problems. (both kidneys and bladder not working properly) been told by QMC they want me to deliver baby in Nottingham, but i live in Lincoln. There plan of action for me so far is when i go into labour i'm to go to Lincoln Hospital then get transferred to QMC. Well be for an appointment at Lincoln today and they say that they are not happy with that care plan. I'm to ask QMC to have there care plan in writing for Lincoln to have a copy. Consultant at Lincoln said today if i was to go into Lincoln Maternity unit when labour starts they will not be happy to send me to QMC as this is 2nd preg so could come anytime soon after labour starts, plus I could have seizure on the way to QMC and they don't want that on their minds when sending me off for an hours journey to another hospital during labour. just wish the hospital would actually talk to each other and not leave it all for me to do at every visit.Even my community midwife that i see says Lincoln hospital haven't told her much about me and there's no notes in my files so any news that she needs to know, had to be gotten off me. just so fed up and not helping my mental state, having any trust i had in NHS is slowly been knocked away and scaring me into what is going to happen to me and my poorly baby esp if i end up having a seizure during labour.

Sorry for the long post just needed to rant and didnt think my 4 year old would understand half of what i was saying if i told him. Still need to find a way to explain that mummy may have to go a way for the minimum of a week to have baby and that he might not be able to see me as it maybe far away.

Not much advice, but I know what's its like with hospitals, consultants and midwives not communicating with each other.

During my pregnancy I felt I repeated things over and over again to different consultants and midwives when if they just put it in my notes they wouldn't have had to keep asking me to explain the situation! So I feel your frustration, hopefully it all pans out and goes to plan for you...

And I'm sure you 4yo will miss you but be very happy when you bring back a sibling! Smile

Have you thought about contacting PALS to help you establish a cheat plan/get support?

I haven't thought about that at all, thanks hun. I'm currently undergoing help from the local sure start who have done a TAC form due to financial problems so got a family support worker coming out tomorrow afternoon. also awaiting a phone call for some counselling for advise and support for the baby and my mental health.

I just thought they might be able to help you voice your opinion in this matter. I'm actually local to you! I hope you get the clear decisions and support you need.
