Ok,
So mr doctor referred me to something called 'maternal mental health' about 3 months ago- About 3 weeks ago I receieved the referal and was suposed to see some lady on April 23rd but I had to cancel.
I went to see a consultant on 23rd March who told me that after my first visit I wouldnt have to see her again because the issue originally was with my weight, and as I gained 9lbs in 3 weeks, she wasnt concerned anymore about low birth weight etc:
Well about 3 days later I got a letter from the hospital which said that this consultant wishes to see me again- on the friday when I went for the booking bloods I inquired about this letter and my midwife told me that the dr was concerned about my level of stress and anxiety and wants me to 'see someone' for the sake of my baby and basically my sanity.
My dr once mentioned something about a mother and baby until on a ward for mothers with postnatal depression etc: and they were talking to me asthough I already had it- Im kinda confused, does it sound to you as though dr's think i'm going to suffer from this? and has ANYONE been to see a maternal mental health counciller before?
I just dont want people to think Im batty.
