I have felt like this through most of my pregnancy.
I wasn't 1st seen until I was 14 weeks, at 19 weeks I had to call them looking for some notes, anything I could carry around with me to show that I am pregnant, just in case.
I have had no information of local amenities or services, when I asked about antenatal yoga I was told that if I didn't do yoga on a regular basis to forget it. I have only just found out about a thing called a "bounty pack" that I am supposed to have. I have no books, no certificate, just my notes that I had to ask for. I just called about antenatal classes and was advised to start them after xmas, that's fine but what if I had not called?
I feel a little disillusioned to be honest, especially being a student nurse and having holistic patient care drilled into me.
It drives you nuts doesn't it.
I have only met my MW twice and some other girls at other times. As far as she knows I have elected a home birth too, so much for building a relationship huh?
I may look into changing MW. But then to be honest I don't think it will make much difference, there is a MW shortage.
Can you not change your care provider? They do not sound like they are on the ball at all and that certainly would not instill me with confidence the nearer I got to my due date. That just sounds appaulling! x
I know, it seems to be a case of "oh she's low risk, we'll leave her be"
To be honest if it wasnt for the updates I get in my in-box and this site I would be clueless. Just as well I am inquizative and don't panic easily. When I worry about something I have to means to research reputable sources, but thats only because of what I do.
Bubbas dadys best friends wife (mouthfull !!! ) is a MW in the hospital, I may just have to call her.
Shoddy though init?
It sounds like you deal with incompetent staff too and that makes me angry because although it may only seem like something minor to most people it is added stress that us pregnant women don't need. I too am having problems of a different kind where the staff are incompetent so I totally sympathize.
