Well when I thought things were looking up....

I had really bad pressure pains that felt like they were coming from the bottom of my womb...so just to make sure everything was ok, I went down to admissions at maternity just to get it checked out.

I explained what I was feeling and he felt my tummy all over and said I was fine and to just go home.
I wondered how he could just know I was fine my feeling my tummy and not actually doing a scan to make sure everything was ok. I mentioned this to him.
He asked me what I had been told about this baby and I explained that I was told what it had but it could still be ok although there was a risk it wouldn't make it.
He then went on to say that the truth was the baby isnt going to be ok. He said it is not a normal baby and there is too much wrong with it to survive.
I didn't really understand what he was saying. I asked him could it survive at all and he said...well I suppose there is a possibly but I don't want you to think there is. He basically said he wanted me to get my head around that I didn't have a normal child and it was going to die.

I still wanted the scan as a reassurance but he said he didn't know what he was reassuring me about. He kept saying the baby wasn't normal. I asked him to just check it was moving and there was a heartbeat. Thats all I wanted. He did check and there was a heartbeat but he didn't seem to care that much.

He didn't seem to want to help me as my baby wasn't "normal". I also had high blood pressure which he didn't seem to care about.
I felt like he was just trying to make me abort this child so it was one less thing the nhs had to worry about.

I still have these pains but the nhs doesn't care as my baby isn't "normal".
I have hit rock bottom now...I can't believe I was treated like that.
I have been strong the whole way through this...how can I be now???

OMG hun thats awful i would complain, who is he to say those things to you, this is your baby no matter what, if you are still worried hun i would try another hospital and dont take no for an answer

 

[Urchin]

Have you got a mobile number for your midwife?

That's disgusting, please don't accept it, if you want more info go and ask for it, ask to see someone else.

 

[klee1988]

The problem is because I live in N.Ireland...this is the best hospital for the baby to be at. It has the machines etc its going to need. No other hospital measures up to it here.
The staff who specialise with the spina bifida are lovely. It was just a normal doctor down at admissions that said this. I don't think he had the right to say this. I'm going to say to the specialist on Tuesday about what he said.
I didn't even get his name as I was so angry...hopefully it will be on my notes though...thats if he bothered to fill them in.

xoxo

 

[klee1988]

I have shared care between my midwife at the gp surgery and the hospital with the scans etc.
I see my midwife on Tuesday aswell so I will say to her about it then. I would rather sit with her and talk about it rather than over the phone.

 

[floppit]

I think your treatment was disgusting. Probably not now but when you're up to it I think it would be well worth a complaint - maybe it's worth noting down when you went and his name if you remember it.

I'm so sorry you got treated like that - it's begs belief that people can be such complete tossers!

 

[Manda&Thomas]

i think thats a bleeding discrase what he said to you
defo try to complain hun id be up in arms your trying to do your best for the baby you dont need twits like him saying things like that
hope your ok
