Hi ladies I was wondering what kind of support or help you have been offered or given from your health authority, midwifes doctors , consultants etc
I ask this as I have been given zero suppoert advice or help infact I the more I think about it the more annoyed I get when I gave birth to my down syndrome daughter a consultant came in and said yes it looks like downs because of this that and the next reason , then when she left I was then put in my own room 3 hours after having her and hubby had to leave because visiting was over and I was never approached once by midwives or any other worker to ask how I was coping or how I felt with what I had just been told for the whole of my 4 day stay ( I spent the 4 days crying alone in a room feeling shit and not knowing what was going on ) , I kid you not there was not one iota of help or advice thrown my way we were left to cope on our own, even when I left absoloutely no one has spoken to us about help we might need or information we need to know about downs we are simply given appointments through the post to attend appointments at the sick kids hospital for heart and health checks , we attend get the checks and are sent on our way no further in the know about down syndrome. Its a total disgrace and I am going to write to my local health authority to tell them about my disgraceful treatment or should that be lack of treatment, support help or information
