I had my first missed miscarriage in October 2023. We were booked for our 12 week scan appointment at this surgery and had no previous miscarriage symptoms.
The lady who did our scan was awful, she couldn’t see our baby and looked at me and said “are you sure you were even pregnant”
Looking back, this was the first thing she could have said to me. Yes I was pregnant, yes I did have to go through the whole miscarriage and no, I didn’t appreciate you asking me that.
It’s hard enough to not see your baby on the screen but to then be insulted is the worst.
West Heath surgery need to retrain all of the Sonographers and teach them how to talk to patients if something goes wrong.
I will never ever go back to this surgery and will tell everyone of my experience as it should never have happened.
The lady was mean and completely inappropriate and a scan that should have been happy for us.
I have since told the women’s hospital to not offer this surgery out to people and always have them come to the women’s as they are better trained and have the correct equipment needed for these situations.
Overall, West Heath made my missed miscarriage more unbearable
