I had my first midwife appointment today and expected to feel so happy and excited after it and I just feel so upset.
The appointment was 50 mins late, then I found out the midwife I'm supposed to have was off, my appointment was really rushed - I have to fill in paperwork at home but after looking at it I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to fill in.
Then she asked if I want a dating scan or a nuchal scan - nobody had told me I have to make a decision like that on the spot. Then as I'm deciding my partners work phone starts ringing - and he goes and takes the call!!!! I'm so angry and upset with him for taking a call during my first midwife appointment. I don't want him at any of my other appointments now.
I haven't been given a bounty pack, I don't even know what one is - I've just seen people say they were given them, and she didn't take bloods!
I feel let down by the midwife and then let down by my partner. I'm also stressing because in the end I went for just a dating scan, and she told me I can't change my mind to a nuchal one now - and she wouldn't give me proper advice on it!! How am I supposed to know which one I'm meant to have when I haven't been given any information prior to my appointment and she won't give me advice!!
