After yesterdays performance at the hossie. If you dont know, I went in yesterday and saw a different doctor who I thought was seeing how far dilated I was and it turned out she'd given me a sweep then told me to expect to go into labour within 48 hours. She then put a massive amount of pressure on me to go upstairs to be induced and was saying "I can break your waters now" When I refused as I was at the hossie on my own, had not consulted OH and had DD to sort out she made me feel like shit and basically said if anything happened to LO then its my fault as she'd offered to have LO out this weekend.
Only thing I agreed to was a daily trace so I went the labour ward today for it and brought it up with the head MW there who was not happy.
Apparantly this doctor is a trainee registrar and should not have carried out any proceedure without full explaination and consent which I know but a bit late considering she'd already done it and told me later.
She brought in a senior registrar who will be informing the consultant on monday and has made an appointment for us to speak to him next week. MW said that we've enough confidence to bring it to our attention and what if she was doing it to more vulnerable women who dont have the confidence to refuse or complain. Registrar said based on the 3 traces Ive had this week there is absolutely nothing to indicate the baby is in any kind of distress and nothing to warrant a sweep or any kind of artificial intervention. We should have first had a trace and then based on that a sweep discussed and me given time to discuss my options with OH, none of which happened.
They were brilliant at the hospital today and have restored our faith somewhat and I know something will be done as the trainee obviously should not be practicing on that level of supervision, she should consult a senior before carrying out ANY invasive proceedure.
Ive now had a show so expect LO anytime. I am still mighty pissed off that I was violated in that way but at least the hospital are addressing it.

OMG I'm not surprised you made a complaint, that is awful.
