ARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Miracle babe]

I spent nearly 3 hours yesterday on a flippin monitor and they made an appointment for me to have a scan this morning at 11am and then see my consultant after. The hubby had to really bend over backwards to get the time off work. Well we went to the clinic, spent nearly an hour waiting before they eventually told us they had no appointment booked for me to have a scan Then I was wheeled in to see some other doctor not my consultant who must have asked me 10 TIMES AT LEAST how many weeks I was, distictly got the impression she wasnt listening to a word I said Was told they'd book another appointment for me for next wednesday where hopefully they will tell me if I can deliver naturally. They couldnt give me an appointment so said I could go and they'd phone me..........yeah right Have just phones them and they've given me an appointment for TUESDAY, my consultant is not in on a tuesday so I know I wont be able to see him. At that point I gave up and have made an appointment to see me midwife at clinic tomorrow. I'm at my wits end. My daughter was nearly brain damaged at birth as she got stuck so this scan is VERY important and as a result I had post traumatic stress disorder. I've had months of councelling and its been really hard facing the fear of delivery. Now in one fell swoop I feel like they've just undone everything I've tried to achieve. I am feeling frightened and desperate

Aww hun

what a horrible day for you

i dunno what to say except what a set of t****rs!!!!!!

I can't beleive the didnt have you booked in, surley they coulsd have squeezed you in instead of making you wait another week

I din't see my Consultant properly all the way through my pregnancy with jack except for her to write me a prescription


Maybe midwife can sort it for you to get scanned quicker

let us know how you get on hun

I cant imagine how upset you must be I think you should tell your midwife what happened and get her to sort of the scan asap hun.

Miraclebabe that is appalling! Please stamp your feet and demand tomorrow! Its terrible that we have to do these things to get medical proffessionals to listen! I am so sick of midwives and doctors that don't take our concerns seriously.

Please don't leave the hospital tomorrow until you have a satisfactory outcome. feel so bad for you

 

[Miracle babe]

Thanks for the support and encouragement girls. I didnt see any point in getting upset at the hospital today as they were obviously so incompetent. I will speak to my midwife tomorrow and hope she can sort it out for me.
I do appreciate that I am emotional at the moment but I am frightened of my baby being put in danger as my daughter was. Hell if I was to go into labour now what would they do. Its the fear of the unknown and worrying about the welfare of my baby thats killing me.

grrr i dont know why they are dragging their heels with it all! i hope it gets sorted soon so you know what it happening!!!

You stick to your guns pet, they arent treating you well at all.
I hope it goes okay tomorrow, just be frank and honest with your midwife about how scared you feel.

 

[skatty]

Miracle babe, I feel for you so much as I am also scared for my baby at the mo'. Have you decided that you do not want a section? I think if its planned it really isn't traumatic and you would get a date and be able to plan. I honestly think the fear of the unknown is the most stressful thing.

I hope all goes well for you tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you! I also see the consultant tomorrow about my section and need reassurance that if I have to I'll be able to have my baby early but after the awful treatment I got on friday I'm not feeling confident.

I will pray we both get a good result tomorrow

Aww Skatty hun you are having a bad time and I really hope you have some joy tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you and hopefully we can both come back online tomorrow night with good news and have a joint party or something

I really really dont want to have a section if I can help it, scares me rigid to be truthful the thought of being sliced open
I guess my mother in law doesnt help, she has the tact of a rhino and loves to tell me horror stories about c sections. She's actually really nice but just wasnt in the queue when God handed out tact

 

[skatty]

Fingers crossed you can have a vaginal birth then. We'll definitelt catch up tomorrow night, hopefully with good news

 

[Miracle babe]

I have everything crossed for you hun


Well perhaps not everything
