The quality of care is just awful, nobody has a clue! It’s all a guessing game.

My midwife is pretty disappointing. I had another one on my last appointment and she was so much better, wished I'd changed ages ago. X
Sorry that you’re going through this, it’s not very nice when you feel so vulnerable towards the end of your pregnancy. My midwife is useless I’ve been in and out of hospital the last few weeks with overnight stays for various reasons that mean I have to be monitored. My midwife picked up I had low iron when I was 28 weeks pregnant but didn’t do anything! When I was in hospital (at 36 weeks!!) they said my iron was really low and they can’t understand why my midwife hadn’t prescribed me anything. My midwife has also double booked me at almost every appointment. I had perinatal anxiety and she ‘forgot’ to refer me to the perinatal mental health team… Doesn’t give you much hope does it xx
I’m sorry you’ve experienced this but it doesn’t surprise me sadly😩 Hopefully it’s just one back experience🤞🏻 Every appointment I’ve had with my midwife, I have left feeling very disappointed and feel like it’s been a waste of time! I’ve started seeing another for regularly BP checks and I’ve already got such a relationship with her and feel better for seeing her. As for seeing a consultant, I’m classed as ‘high risk’ but I haven’t actually seen a doctor since I was about 15 weeks pregnant. I thought the care but soooo much different. I’m 35 weeks and I’m no closer to birth preferences or anything, induction has been mentioned but nothing in detail. I’ve got another scan on Monday so I’m hoping, and praying that we get more answers, if not- I’ll be kicking off🙈🙈
