I was meant to have a consultant appointment this morning at 9am by telephone. I hung around until 10am, as did my husband but then we had to go to work. Late morning l rang up, spoke to receptionist who was irritable with me and told me the appointment was face to face that’s why no one rang me. I read out the appointment letter they sent me which in 2 separate places said it was a telephone appointment and NOT to go to the hospital. Receptionist looked it up on the system, then conceded l was sent the wrong letter so it wasn’t my fault. Said someone would ring me at the end of clinic either the doctor or her. No one rang me. I rang back twice during the afternoon and got voicemail both times. Left voicemails but nothing
To be honest lm hacked off with the hospital overall as lots of things have been delayed or not happened. Communication has been poor -we said it was twins at booking in but no one bothered to tell the week 12 scan people this. Getting the prescription / dental exemption was like get blood out of a stone. Didn’t see the consultant until 22 weeks -it’s meant to be before 16 weeks. Community midwife has dropped off the face of the earth -haven’t seen her since week 16 and no appointment booked. Always nearly running out of blood thinners as the prescriptions are never ready and pharmacy often takes more than a day to dispense etc
Consultant was odd at the week 22 appointment acting as if l would go into Labour naturally. It’s twins, lm 43, they are IVF and l have never been pregnant / given birth before. So clearly not a week 40 natural birth! Plus l know my NICE guidelines and l wish to have a c-section -due to the risks to twin 2, odds of having to give birth plus a c-section and weirdly enough don’t have confidence they will monitor an induction sufficiently!!!
