| Im not brilliantly happy with my care. Not from the midwifes or specialists at the hospital anyway. But my GP has been fantastic.
I dont like my midwife. Out of the 5 appointments Ive had, only one has been with her. I think its just a personality clash though. Im having a pretty hard time with my mood swings and being away from my family and she hasn't been very supportive at all.
I had bleeding at 11 weeks and the hospital I went to were awful. They told me I had an ectopic pregnancy, and if not I was having a miscarriage. I was told I had to go back 2 days later for a scan to see what was happening. Everything was fine, but they really worried me. They nearly let me out of the hospital with a needle in my hand too. I had to tell a nurse in a different department that theyd left it in because I was just left. The lady that did the emergency scan was awful as well. This is at St James' in Leeds by the way. Im not having the baby there, but thats where the early pregnancy unit in Leeds is. I went for my 12 week scan at LGI though and the doctor I saw there was absolutely brilliant. Very much looking forward to seeing him on Thursday.
St James also lost my triple blood tests and by the time theyd told me then it was too late for me to have it redone. I was quite upset about it because it was a decision OH and I had given a lot of thought to, so naturally when we decided to have it done we wanted our results, and someones carelessness took that away from us. There was 7 other ladies at my clinic that this had happened to as well.
I just hope theyre a lot better when I actually go into labour!
