midwives!!!

My midwife is a pain in the bum, she really useless. I'm going to a hospital that isn't in my area fair enough its all new to them but I'm sure they had a few people going out of county hospital. When I get to my appointments she just so not with it, I have to tell her what's going on even though its in my notes and I have to make all my appointments with the hospital. Which is annoying as when I arrange them, they said your midwife should've done it so I have to go back to her and get her to do it and she knew my bmi is high and she couldn't make a gtt for me and I had to mention it also she hasn't mentioned about my whooping cough, I had to mention the anti-D. Its like I might as well be my own midwife. Yeah things are different as I'm going to another hospital but come on this is a joke. No need to treat my different because of the different hospital. I'm sure the care is the same if im going to the county hospital. She says she cant be my appointments which is crap as she did my scan appointment okay and the consultant. Hope im not the only one.
Has any of you ladies had awful midwives?

the midwife for my last pregnacy wasn't great. ShE was always in a fluster and answering her mobile to her husband during appointments. She hated taking bloods and admitted she was scared of needles which didn't fill me with confidence. And she spent my whole pregnancy telling me my baby was Def head down when she was actually breech! I have a much better midwife this time around!

The main midwife i see is absolutely brilliant and really lovely, she's on the button about everything. But a few times when she's been in hospital or off I've seen another one who doesn't fill me with confidence at all! She's so ditsy. I thought everything was written in the notes about anti-d and things? They always know I'm rhesus negative when I see them.

My midwife is nice but I'm going to a different hospital to the one she is based at and she has told me things that have turn out to be incorrect because they have different rules. She told us we could take our son to the 12wk scan but when we got there they said no children, she made an appointment for me to see a consultant at the hospital then they didn't know why I was seeing a consultant and told me I could have a blood test the same day as antiD but I've rang today and that's not the case. So I have to double check everything instead of trusting what she says
