Looking for some advice really, I might just be being precious, I’m not sure but I’m really unhappy with my midwife and I don’t know what to do about it.
I went for my 16 week appointment today, she didn’t ask how I was or if I had any concerns etc. When she was doing my blood pressure I mentioned I’d blacked out a few times, once hitting the floor when I couldn’t sit down in time, she said ‘well your blood pressure is fine’ that was it. I could have questioned her more but she makes me feel uncomfortable.
I’m also barely eating as I’m getting full from the smallest amount of food and have indigestion all day, so trying my best to eat tiny amounts. I understand it’s probably totally normal but I’m concerned if this will affect the baby at all or just some general reassurance would be nice. She barely looked up when I told her and didn’t really say anything. She mentioned the whooping cough vaccine, but then told me she hadn’t bothered to train in it yet so I’d have to come back for, which is fine but it’s just her attitude that isn’t fine.
I should add she isn’t my named midwife, but she always seems to be on holiday when I have an appointment so not actually seen her yet.
Is this normal? If I had a choice I’d not see her again, but no idea if that’s possible.
