Playing on my mind

[Mommy2Kian]

when i went for my detail scan, we had to see the consultant, i asked the consultant about having a private room, just because with having a 4 year old, i dont want him running up and down screaming, etc, also having a c-section i wanted comfort, we were wiling to pay.

She looked at me and said, u dont need to ask this, you will more than likely get a "private" room anyway...last thing u want is to be on a ward with women who have given birth to "normal babies" when yours might not be...

that hurt, and it's played on my mind since

it was the way she said it, no compassion or anything like im gonna get slung to one side with a none normal baby

If my baby isnt "normal" i dont care he will have all the love any "normal" baby would have. I just want my baby to get better, i want this fluid to go away, i dont want him to have an operation as soon as i have him i want to hold him and take him home.

I feel so angry sometimes!

Sorry, i have good days and bad, today seems to be a bad day

xXx

Oh my god what a idiot!!!!!

And to be honest she is so wrong on many many levels.

You must have the patience of a saint - i would have belted her.

What the hell is 'normal'anyway!!!

 

[Mommy2Kian]

I dont no what normal is these days but i was quite happy untill she came out with that, when she left the room i said to OH "she thinks our baby wont be normal"

I understand the more the fluid increases the worse the prognosis, but give me some hope at least!

what a nasty insensitive idiot she is

you are calmer than me id have socked her one......there is no 'normal' just individual

silly silly woman

dont listen to insensitive people hun, your little mans going to be perfect in everyway. Youve been through so much recently and look how strong youve been your amazing hun .
As for the room i wouldnt worry your more than likely to be given one anyway, when i went in last week they wouldnt put me onto a ward i would talk to the ward clerk at the hospital as they are the people who deal with the rooms etc. xx

 

[lou1979]

Thats really insensitive of her you poor thing!

But im glad they are making the effort so that you do get your privacy huni xxx

 

[bloodbinds]

She surely can't be allowed to say that?!?! I would put in a complaint. You poor thing, much hugs xxx

 

[Anna1982]

what a b***h, I would report her firstly

my god who denotes normal or none normal,

some people need a good kick.

i would call the ward to see if rooms can be paid for!

 

[Mommy2Kian]

She even used her 2 fingers like a " " when she said normal, hope i dont get to see her again... (_Y_) asshole !

 

[Vicks]

She sounds like a complete idiot hun - I would put in a complaint against her, because that's just not on.
Sending you big hugs sweetie x

 

[amazed]

i cant believe she said that... how rude....

 

[Bam]

I'm with some of the other ladies... file a complaint. She shouldn't be allowed to have such crappy manner with people. Especially on such a sensitive subject!

*hugs* Kaden will be just fine. No need to worry about "normality".

 

[Bunnipowder]

What a bloody thing to say!!! I would think about putting in a complaint too because that is really unsensitive and unthoughtful to say when you and your OH are trying hard to be optimistic you dont need a reminder of the uncertainty. I was in a private room after I had Callum and I would of been heartbroken if one of the midwifes had made that comment to me too

 

[xkirstyx]

omg hunny thats shocking!!! big hugs xxx

*jaw hits keyboard* How dare she assume anything about your feelings or attitude towards your child. And how how can she possibly think that such an attitude of her own is acceptable.

I agree with the others... if you're got the time/energy, complain!
