Well, I'm going to join Munchkin in not having a very good MW appt today - was really looking forward to it as well!
It wasn't my usual MW but a bit of an old bag who was quite abrupt and just wanted me in and out it felt. No small talk and I didn't feel I really wanted to talk to her about my questions about a couple things that have been bothering me.
She asked if I'd booked in for my GTT (what's that I asked) - Glucose Tolerance Test yet - I said I'd hd it weeks ago and showed her the referral letter and told her the results haad come back clear. Now, apparently I wasnt supposed to have it so early (at 14 wks) but am supposed to be having it around now. So I've got to have it again - fantastic - it ws horrible and made me feel really sick last time - they want me to have it on the same day as my Anti-D as well so a double whammy.
She took my blood pressure, measured my tummy and listened to bubs hb (which she found straight away and sounded great) all without a word so I had to ask if it was all normal (yes). Urine normal too.
Felt quite flustered and after booking next appt (in 3 weeks time) I was hurried out the door - got to the car & realised I'd completely forgotten to ask for Mat B1 & HIP forms. Had to go back and was made to feel like I was putting them out (must have been wanting to go home I guess).
I cant even remember now all the different departments I've got to ring tomorrow to try and sort my appts out and just feel quite deflated and a bit rubbish
Oh and she was like 'oh you've everything wrong haven't you' when she realised I'm at risk of diabetes through family history, am Rhesus negative and have low lying placenta..... I though I was doing quite well and none of these things have really bothered me too much so far.....
At lest bubs is ok though so I shouldn't feel sorry for myself.

awww hun, hope your next appt goes better hun, don't let them get you down xxx
must be a national "bad day" with midwives lol 
hope your next appointment goes alot better. I have to wait 4 weeks as she wouldn't book me in the week of my GTT and before I see the consultant - she said there was no point so they would see me the following week! Ah well. It'll be MY normal midwife then so hopefully it'll be alot better
