had my midwife app 2day

[jayla's mummy]

hey ladies , i had my midwife appointment today. i wasnt really feeling up to it because i was really tried this morning.
anyway, when i got there my midwife told me i had to take blood to check for iron and glucose - she then lefted the room and this student midwife toke my blood except the stupied women missed my vein.....
when that wasnt good enough she then dragged the needle out of my arm
i screamed because it hurt so much - i could of hit her ( but im a nice young ladies )
after she said that she had to do it again because she missed the vein I SAID NO!!! no way was she coming next to me again.
so my proper midwife toke my blood in my other arm - so now i have plasters on both my arms. aaarrrggghhhhh

i told them that i think i still have thrush and they gave me another tablet ( taking tonight). so hopefully that will clear up.

my midwife then felt for baby and he/she is in the head down postion - baby is getting ready to come out. i listened to babys heartbeat and everything is ok.

so after my tramatic experience everything was ok.
sorry if long ladies

I had the doctor do one of my blood tests and though my midwife has been ok about them and gets it that i think blood tests are gross, the doctor made me hold the needle down while he went to fetch a plaster. He was like oh can you just hold this here and i thought he meant cotton wool, but it was cotton wool AND he'd left the needle in
