Is having a Midwife appointment on Halloween a premonition or just coincidence?
This was my second pregnancy appointment with the Midwife team, although my first proper assessment appointment. I was warned on Netmums to be be prepared to be barraged by a million questions.
The Midwife who made the appointment didn't book me in at her end, just on my paperwork.
So after 30 minute wait, I end up with her assistant asking me questions and form filling.
She asked me if I'd decided which type of
scan I wanted, I said no as I had some questions, she just cut me off saying
she needed to know then. I said well if you could just answer my questions...
She snapped at me and said didn't I read the book? I said yes
but a) my heads all over the place and b) I have mental health issues that
affect my memory and concentration.
Her response, 'well can't you talk it through with baby dad?'
Her response, 'well can't you talk it through with baby dad?'
Well no actually, because he's a **** and I doubt he could answer my
questions anyway.
Midwife took blood pressure twice because it was raised. Really?!
I hate having my blood pressure taken, I would rather give blood. I just don't like that feeling when it is really tight around your arm. I'd never make a good junkie.
I had lots of bloods taken. I asked
what they were testing for again, again didn't you read that bit of the book?!
I was told I was been referred to a consultant because of
my back problems and that it might affect whether I can carry to term or have an epidural.
I met a friend afterwards and if it hadn't been for her, I would have come home and cried! I felt that crap.
My GP checked my blood pressure this morning, perfectly fine, thank you.
