My lesson in maternal instinct

[BabyBrain]

Just got back from the hospital (via the local greasy spoon cafe), furious and relieved all at the same time.
Went to Day Assessment and they had no warning I was going in this morning to prep for surgery. I explained what happened Friday with a random consultant ringing me telling me to get to a&e etc and that I refused, preferring to wait til today. Well..........

Off went the lead midwife to chat to the registrar I saw friday (who told me surgery was not needed til after baby was born). Out stormed this registrar from theatre and demanding to know where this consultant was.....funnily enough he's not in today . I was already in tears in the waiting room and oh was nearly the same.
Anyway, the lead midwife called us back in and exploded lol. She couldn't believe he has rung me and frightened me so much, that he hadn't warned anyone else to expect me and then on top of that not even turn up to see me. She got another consultant in (who i am now under for future appointments) who explained that the types of cysts I have are completely benign, are just basically bad luck and not a threat to either me or the baby. I burst into tears again cos I was so happy and off we went for breakfast.
That little spark on Friday, the reason I stopped the car and didn't go to a&e, stopped me from having a completely unnecessary procedure that could have put me and baby at risk of infection.
Trust your instincts. If you want longer to think about something then say so. The midwives are going to deal with this consultant when they see him, so I have no concerns about complaints. But please ladies, we know ourselves when something isn't right no matter what it is so please trust yourselves xxxxxxxxxxxx

Woo hoo so glad in a roundabout way with a lot of stress you got the answer you wanted!

At least now you know you weren't over reacting to the way you were dealt with by the other consultant.

I'm knackered now, think I could sleep on a bottle top lol. I've got my 16 week appointment with the midwife at 2, and going to do some retail therapy for baby on the way home and then we are curling up in a ball to sleep til daddy comes home.
I've taken the day off work tomorrow because I am just so drained....am trying to book a gender scan lol xxxxxxxxxxx
