I have had hyperemesis gravidarum the whole pregnancy which is enough to deal with. On blood thinners fine they are necessary. On 2 weeks pb and urine check for preeclampsia .. starting to loose me but ok. Now have a high uterine up artery so monthly scan, ok get to see baby. Followed by an appointment with drs that care about their tickbox rather than my personal concerns. Unable to take the gestational diabetes test the forced me to do daily checking which I am finding impossible as I’m terrified of needles and dehydrated from hg. I in fact said no on two separate occasions I’m being double teamed by a midwife and consultant and they’d tickbox. Dr talked at me for an hour and made me feel like I couldn’t leave without agreeing to something. I’m a SA victim and they weren’t listening to me about how i feel comfortable. Made me in general feel like I had no Choice and no say over my body. And now I’m fed up and don’t trust them. Also forced social midwife on me as I broke down when they asked if it was my first baby (had 7 miscarriages) and tried to forced me on antidepressants .. just want to be left alone they are sucking the joy of being pregnant

Hi @Toria33 , I’m sorry you are having such a horrible time. I don’t really have advice other than, can you bring someone with you to your appointments? I find doctors and hospitals panic me lots and having someone with a clear head in the room helps. Also, with regards to the daily testing, I assume you are talking about finger prick testing? Could you ask someone to do it for you?

@Sallyh87 So I took my husband we went in with a set agreement and they literally forced him to reason with me. When I said no. So I feel betrayed. I had him doing it but I was getting stabbed 4-5 times and still not getting a sample. Which is annoying when I didn’t even want to do it to start with. I just feel super overwhelmed and like I have no say.
