Hi All,
This is my Second Pregnancy, I was scheduled to have my 16 week check this morning but My midwife called me 40 mins before to cancel/ reaarange it. She said my local clinic with her is new and no one else in the 6 weeks since I last saw her has booked in.
She wanted me to go to another clinic this afternoon, but my appointments have been booked around my work and my babysitting (me and my friend share childcare between our work and this afternoon I have her little girl), so cant go today. This other clinic is also quite a drive away and not on a direct bus line from me, where this morning it was just around the corner.
I dont know how I feel about this. Surely as the first appointment of the morning she could have seen me and then gone back to her other clinic this afternoon - is it my fault no one else has booked in?
Maybe Im just a bit disgruntled as my local area also mucked up my NT scan and screening last week as they didnt tell me I needed to have my bloods taken after my scan, even though she was telling us when to expect the results - which never came. Then it was too late for combined test. Luckily still had the Quad test - but It made me worry as I was that much furthur along.
Anyway my midwife knows I suffer from Anxiety, god knows she had to fill out so much paper work because I have just been diagnosed with generalised Anxiety (nothing major, just worry and mild panic attacks). So prosponing my appojntment, and now having to drag my my friends little girl with my little boy next week is not my idea of fun! Especially as I would rather I went on my own (less stress)!
Anyway I dont know, she said she hopes the clinic will pick up, but I just feel if the clinics there and someones booked, surely they should stick to no matter how many people book in. Its not like I booked half way through the morning/session.....
Oh I dont know, just feel a bit let down, again. My experience of the system is a bit negative anyway as my last pregnancy ened up with an being left for 48hrs with no waters after they broke but labour didnt start - kept sending me home, undiagnosed breech, emergency c-section and a uterine infection. I just wanted this one to be a bit more positive.
I guess im just having a hormonal moan -Should Isay something?
