🖕🏼SO DISHEARTEN🖕🏼
I don’t know if I’m writing this to rant or for advice but I need someone else to hear what has happened. My whole pregnancy my bump has measured small but after each growth scan baby measures on or just below the 50th centile. 34 weeks come and was sent for another growth scan baby had shot up to the 94th centile. They sent me for GD tests and that was all fine. I’ve been sent into triage by my midwife today after my 36 week appointment(36+3) due to tightenings and baby being a bit quieter than normal. She also mentioned needing a scan as measuring small again. Spent 6 hours in triage to be told by the rudest registrar “a movements a movement” “your to early for us to make a plan” she kept repeating “35 weeks is early” I had to tell her multiple times I’m not 35weeks. Told me to get my midwife to “sort the growth scan as I might just have a big baby” “worrying for nothing”.
I feel so upset and angry. You go in for reassurance and help and leave feeling more disheartened.
This will be my 3rd episode of reduced movements in a couple of weeks. Midwives in triage seemed confused as to why the registrar put no plan in place for frequent monitoring or a scan. I’m going to ring my midwife tomorrow and complain as I’m sat in front of a women crying why she’s basically telling me to get a grip😭
