fed up with consultant

[Lexi mummy]

Hi ladies

i have posted on the pregnancy thread inthe stillbirth scetion but i am just so fed up of my consultant.

i have had to fight for more care as the original plan he offered would of missed my danger zone when i lost lexi. all the way through my pregnany he has refused to see me and said "well we cant do anything until 24 weeks anyway" and just washed his hands off me. at 16 weeks i was panicking and thought baby had died i phoned for a reasurance scan and he wanted to charge me £190!!! WTF

i went in for a very important growth and doppler scan last thursday which he said he would be there for only to have a regular sonagrapher perform it. lexi died as my placenta stopped working and she had IUGR so the doppler scans are to check the placenta is working right. he didnt even know what he was doing properly and when i asked him he said "i think i am looking for...." WTF. we then saw a doctor at ante natal clinic afterwards who told us the consultant wont be seeing us unless there is a problem, which i just couldnt beleive. what has to happened for him to realised this is serious. i lost my precious fully formed little daughter at 8 months into my pregnancy, if midwife and doctor had listened in the first palce there is a chance she might be alive today. what has to happen for him to realise i am high risk. placental failure has upto a 50% reacurance rate.

the doctor said everything looked fine then sent us home. when i got home and looked at the growth scan my baby is measuring 2 weeks behind yet they failed to mention that to me.

i left a message on my consultants voice mail on sunday saying i am not happy about any of this and he still hasnt bothered to call back. if he doesnt call back by tonight i have to contact PALS again. i just cant beleive this. 29 weeks is when lexi stopped growing so i am getting closer and closer to my danger point yet nobody seems to care apart from me xx

id call pals again today and say you have not heard anything back you having another scan again next week arent you ? just thinks he is trying to put you off until then which isnt fair

hope you get it sorted soon

Call PALS darling, they are being terribly unfair treating you like this. You need that care and they have a duty to provide it. Is it the N&N? If they are not offering you the best treatment maybe asked to be transfered to the JPH or the other way round (I live in Yarmouth, I am not stalking you ) and see if that improves things?

I must say, whilst I have not suffered the terrible loss you have, JPH have still been very good and caring with me.
