I know lots of Mums to be in Scotland are complaining about the lack of care... it seems quite common for us to go to GP when we first get our BFP (4weeks) referral to MW takes few weeks so first booking appointment can be around 12-13 weeks...then scan appointment a few weeks later.. (only have ONE scan though out their 40 week pregnancy)..... This tends to be done around 14-16 weeks...
We get our bloods, babies measurements, urine etc all done at the one appointment....and the next appointment after that can be at 25-26weeks (like me)
I feel this is awful...... Yes we have an EPU... and due to previous loss i used my EPU in the first 10 weeks... BUT that isn't part of our standard care..
Also one more thing......
Do people in the rest of the country get their notes home???
We have to give FULL Medical history for ourself and partner.... And Well I think this information shouldn't be allowed home.... We may have past issues in our families that others shouldn't know... including our partners...
Ie... my partners mum has mental health issues and we don't want my children knowing, or my mum knowing...but they could find mt notes, not think anything of it and read to see how my pregnancy is coming on...but find out more....
If you have had a termination, STD or anything you don't want people to know... it's all there..... So imagine it could cause problems for some people who are in new relationships?? I am lucky.. I have not had these problems, but many woman have in their past.....so? ? ?
See what i mean?
Some medical/ personal things should only be kept in the medical locked away surgery/ hospital files..... private between you and your doctor/MW.
Any thoughts?
Should we complain?
Who can we complain too?
