I posted a few weeks ago about my 20 week scan, not sure if any of you will remember. Basically, to cut a long story short, my scan was very rushed, i asked to find out the sex and was told after 30 seconds that it would have to be a surprise. The whole scan took no more than 5 minutes, and now I cant help but think was she thorough enough... did she miss anything?
Now bearing in mind my history... I laboured with my son, got to 10 cms, started pushing and they tell me my baby is breech. This had never been picked up in the whole of my pregnancy, so I get rushed to have an emergency c section under general aneasthetic. My husband couldnt see his son being born, and I didnt get to see him till he was over an hour old. Now after this, I developed an infection whilst being in hospital, and ended up on 4 different lots of antibiotics and was in hospital for 14 days. I had all sorts of different tests, and they still couldnt find what was wrong with me. They said everything from a urine infection, to a heart infection. Ever since, ive suffered from severe anxiety and PTSD and am still waiting for counselling to help me come to terms with what had happened.
After all of this happened, when my son was about 3 months old, I went back to see my consultant to discuss what had happened. He assured me 100% that anything I wanted in my next pregnancy, I would get. Whether it be extra visits to the dr/mw, scans, whatever I felt I needed to put my mind at rest basically.
So today, I had a consultant appointment. What a f**king waste of time that was (excuse my french). I am so angry. The lady who I saw didnt have any of my notes so hadnt a clue about my history, or even why I was under a consultant. Considering all the promises I have been made and all that hospital have put me through, it just aint good enough. I am worried sick, I have no faith in that hospital at all.
Im going to go and see my midwife this afternoon and explain all of this to her, but Im not sure theres anything she can do. Im also going to ask how I get refered to another local hospital. I have no trust what so ever in them. I mean how the hell they can expect me to go in to see a consultant, and then not even have a clue about my history is beyond me. The whole thing was a complete waste of time, I may have well have just seen my midwife as all she done was the normal checks and said come back at 32 weeks.
I havent stopped crying since I got back These people are going to be delivering my baby!
