And I'm so pleased!
Hi girls I know I don't post on here very often, but felt I should share this:
I had a horrific time of it during my last labour and I had a consultant appointment last week, as now classed as high risk as a result.
She was absoltely fantastic. She really listened to what I had to say and agreed that I can have my waterbirth :happydance:
Not only that, but she reffered me to both an obstetric counceller and a midwifery services liason nurse. I highly doubted any of this would happen, but today I recieved a phone call from the counceller and a letter regarding the midwife liason nurse! The counceller sounded utterly lovely and I'm actually looking forward to talking to her, in a way.
My hubby is coming with me to see the liason nurse, so hopefully we will both be happier this time - my care (or lack of) left a huge impact on him, so I'm glad he can be involved.
I am going to be allocated a team of midwives so se me through my pregnancy and one of those will be on duty whenever I go into labour. I'm so grateful that I'm receiving this quality of care - and on the NHS.
I hope it all goes as planned and I'm not let down again. But the point of this post is to say that you need to speak up. If you feel let down, have been done wrong or are generally not happy about something, hopefully they wil listen. Although I would prefer that none of you girls need to go down the route I did!!
