Movements but horrible Dr

Hey all, I've had a pretty crap week really been in hospital a lot with illness more than baby issues. Had clinic on Friday to do growth scan, baby on small side and slow movements so then got put on monitor and told to phone every day that I have slow movements.
Sat night had a big wobble as thought waters had gone, thankfully just a roaring UTI/thrush from previous course of abx which finished today.
So went in and the Dr was so patronising. I heard her outside the door before she came to discharge me saying to the midwife and student midwife that she's met me earlier in the week and I'm "one of those going to be in every week" and it made me feel like an absolute waste of time.
So movements were all fine yesterday but other than hiccups today I've really not noticed any. I want to phone in but given the Dr comments and how patronising she was to my face too I just don't want to.
Example, due to high infection levels my HR was dangerously high and when I got into hospital (earlier in the week I mean) I was on an ecg within 10 minutes of arrival. It wasn't even something I'd mentioned, I collapsed at work and a colleague took me to A n E and they were amazing. But when I mentioned to this Dr that I still felt like I was having palpitations in spite of all the abx ive had to bring infections under control, she dismissed it as anxiety.
WWYD?

If you feel that baby is not ok go back in and ask to stay the night. Lie and say you haven't felt any movement don't let what that doctor said about you cloud your judgement ignore her.

Go in any time you feel you need to and screw the Dr who shouldn't have said that at all. It's awful and when you are through this I would consider a complaint because making you worry about going in puts you and baby at risk.
I went in twice a day every day for the last month and during that time also had time on ward because of my anxiety (I had lost my first baby). I knew most of the drs and midwives by the end and every single one welcomed me, some even came to visit me on the post natal ward. They genuinely would prefer to reassure you and keep you and baby safe than have the risk. Do what you need to, you are your baby's voice and never feel like you should stay quiet.
