I've had every midwife appointment cancelled no calls nothing. I went for my twenty week scan a few weeks ago baby all ok but didn't see a midwife once again.
A healthcare assistant asked me for a sample did the dipstick test said there was blood and cells but she couldn't give me a prescription and I will get a letter with one in the post been two weeks nothing has arrived.
I rang they said someone will call me no one has. My 25 week one has been cancelled I've had a text today telling me my next appointment will be at 31 weeks and it's not even in my area it's another area so I haven't seen a midwife since my booking in now at 8 weeks gone and won't see one till 31 weeks.
How is this being allowed to carry on I know services are stretched but I feel like it's taking the Mickey I was very anaemic with my last child but with no bloods being done how will anyone know? I've got a water infection I've rang the docs someone was meant to call me back today from the GP but they haven't as yet and not looking good as it's 6pm my back hurts it burns when I wee.
I'm getting sick of this now Confused

I'm just waiting for 111 to ring me back so hopefully I can get some antibiotics sorted out. My partner does live with me but he's taken his children to his dads their stepdad is a nhs so he can't bring them here so I'm alone at the minute for a few days.

I’m 33weeks & in my area due to covid19 16 weeks are cancelled, 20 week scan taking place. I was seen at 28 weeks & last week, I will be at 36 & then full term - I’m not first time mum but think their plans the same. OP you need ur 28 week bloods, just call com midwifes to get bloods done. Obviously hospital if baby’s movements reduced. Hope u get ur antibiotics too. These are hard times to be pregnant as understandably care is so different, goodluck
