midwife???

[yumumleelou]

i have the most useless midwife alive!
do i need one?
really?
can i swap her for a better one?
can i swap her for a better one, without changing doctor surgeries?
and have you had trouble with yours???
please help me, im soooo stressed out about it! i have no luck with my current midwife, her phone is never switched on, and she wont answer my texts that i leave her and she doesn't have a voicemail.
HELP!

Ask for a swap, they have to understand that some people just don't click. This is your special time, and you have the right to enjoy it, and if that means changing your midwife then so be it.

I agree with Ann-Marie. It doesn't hurt to ask. I hope you get a better one hun

My midwife was pretty useless at first. After 16 weeks I found out she's actually a really nice lady and very helpful!

I think you should do whatever it takes to get someone you feel completely comfortable with. This is YOUR time. It's important you feel as comfortable as you can.

well as i've been ill with the flu and a chesty cough i coughed really hard n i had a cramp down there!!!
i called the midwife n she came straight away.... maybe because i'm further than i was??? whatever the reason, she was listening for bubba's heart and reassuring me that everything will be fine, so i'm having second thoughts now x x x

that was really good of her... maybe she'd just had an off day before
