I'm 19 weeks exactly today.
For the first time ever I noticed some blood this morning when I wiped after going for a wee after sex.
I've been at the assessment unit all day (got here at 10am, still in the waiting area now). I was feeling relatively relaxed about it all, midwives didn't seem worried. Then when I eventually saw a doctor it turns out I have had a bleed and she thinks I have a low lying placenta. It's not significant enough for them to keep me in, just keep a close eye at home and wait for my anomaly scan on Thursday.
But - it turns out that the midwives didn't make a note of any of the observations they took this morning, and they didn't take my blood. They also argued with the doctor about whether I should have anti-D (I'm Rh negative).
So now I have another wait of who knows how long while they send my bloods to the lab before I can have the injection.
I'm so frustrated, I don't mind the waiting - I just can't help but think the midwives were not taking me seriously. It doesn't give me much faith in the care I'm getting. And it makes me reluctant to come back in if I have any other issues.
Maybe I'm being precious but I'm just a bit shaken and needed to have a rant!
