I had my mw booking appointment today. I have the same mw as I had with dd and she is so lovely I'm really pleased. I told her that I am struggling with anxiety again since becoming pregnant (I struggled quite badly after dd went blind at 7 months) and she was great. She has referred me straight to the consultant and will be speaking to my GP. I told her that at the moment I think I want an elcs because I think it will help with the anxiety to feel I have some control this time which I completely lost with dd (had an emcs after 48 hour labour). I asked her if she thought I would have to fight for it because I had read that other women have felt pressured to go for vbac but she doesn't think it will be an issue at all so really pleased with that. According to my lmp my due date would be Jan 26th but I told her with my long cycles I think it is more like Feb 2nd so we will have to wait for the 12 week scan which she thinks will be around mid July
Laurac, I'm sorry they haven't booked your appointment yet! How frustrating!
Today I'm so nauseous even with the zofran. I just want to cry
Why is it in the UK they will do absolutely nothing until minimum of 7 weeks! I'm 6+3 today and woke to spotting, not heavy, not bright red, but there! Called the EPU at kettering hospital and they will do nothing until 7 weeks, i have to go to GP and suspect Ectopic and get a referral if i want to be seen!
Why do they make us jump through hoops just to make sure everything is ok? So sick of our CCG guidelines, i've had to fight guidelines from the outset of fertility treatments and now they still don't care!
Sorry needed to vent!
