I had my first midwife visit today and half nine, been feeling in limbo since the tests so was really looking forward to ticking this off and feeling like we were getting somewhere.
After sitting at the doctors for over half an hour the receptionist came to speak to me .... The midwife had not turned up, no one even knew which midwife it was supposed to be ( she had been ringing around trying to sort it out) and I have had to make a new appointment for next Wednesday.
She was really embarrassed and apologetic, and I just feel sick, I feel like the last 2 weeks have been building up to this visit - maybe I am making a big deal over it, but it's my first pregnancy, I'm an "older" pregnant lady and I had so many things to ask - I assume this will now knock me back by a week for things like the dating scan - I have no idea really of my dates so was keen to "get started"
I can nt believe that a midwife could not show up at work, but equally an astounded that no one even knows which midwife it was supposed to be in order to track things down.
Unbelievable
How long do you normally have to wait for the scan? I am worrying because I don't know my dates and I do want to have the check for downs syndrome on the scan(I can't remember what it's called) and I thought there was on,y a certain window in which hat could be done
