Currently 29 weeks pregnant with DC3. Two previous home births and one c-section for early PROM - low movements

I decided to go with One to One as I had heard some lovely things about them being more easy going. Everything is going fine, they are happy for me to have a home birth, but I think they maybe they might be a little too easy going for me....I just wanted some reassurance that the following things are ok

-29 Weeks pregnant and fundal height only went up 1cm since my last appointment (its now 27cm) midwife says thats fine don't worry about it

-She seems very lax with checking urine samples (asks me to hold it up to bottle, barely glances at it and then writes NAD). I ended up with a kidney infection 3 days after my last sample when she said there was no sign of infection

-When she took my blood for 28 week check she didn't wipe my arm first with a wipe or wear gloves, then asked me to throw the needle etc in my bin

-She is constantly telling me how busy she is, she hasn't seen her child this week, how tired she is. Whilst I feel for her, its not really my problem and it makes me feel like a nuisance to her.

-She hasn't listened to the babys heartbeat once. She said they don't do it as I should be aware of movements and listening to the heartbeat tells them nothing

I'm honestly not someone who needs constant reassurance or advice. I've had no problems during this pregnancy at all and have not ever phoned or text her, the only time i've seen her is for appointments so I'm really not someone who needs their hand holding.

Am I being precious here and this is all normal?
