I'm dealing with the most inefficient antenatal clinic in Britain and I want to scream. My doctor warned me that they lose forms all the time and that I'd have to ring them to make sure they got it. Sure enough when I rang they said they had received no such form and my name wasn't on their books. I asked my clinic to fax it through again. Rang back in a few days and still they hadn't received it - and it takes hours to get through to them on the phone. I rang my clinic on Wednesday and asked them to ring the antenatal office to make sure it had been received once they'd faxed it. They did. I then rang myself to ask when I would hear from them and I was told "oh about 3 days before your 12 weeks are up". I was flabbergast.
To make matters worse I can home to a furious husband last night who said that I had received a letter from the hospital but it had been sent to my neighbour days ago. Now my neighbour knows I'm pregnant, even though I haven't yet told my family for fear something will go wrong before the scan and I was on their books when they said I wasn't. I rang today to book my time as suggested in the letter. No reply. Got put through to another office who I told my woes to. They have promised to get them to ring me today and 25 minutes before they're due to close (I was told to ring between 2 - 4) no one has rung me. I would sack someone for such inefficiency.
Grrrrrrrrr
