"Prince Charles hospital merthyr"

About: Prince Charles Hospital Site / Maternity care

(as the patient),

I was referred to hospital by my gp as I had been battling suspected pneumonia for weeks and my sputum results came back showing something and I was well into my second trimester of pregnancy. I waited all day for blood test results and the consultant came in and asked why I chose to come in and I mentioned I was told to by my gp because of my sputum results and they didn't have a clue about any sputum results, they had to ask a nurse about them. They then told me something had come up in my liver that they believed to be pregnancy related (obstetric cholestasis) I had this with my second pregnancy so I knew what it was. They didn't refer me to obstetrics or maternity and I was sent home.

So I mentioned my liver results to the midwife at my next appointment and because I wasn't itching like crazy they didn't want to test me again even though the proof was already in the past tests? I had to get quite upset and moan about how crap I felt the care was here compared to when I had my son in a different location. They then done the tests but not completely! I've had half the result back. I'm not giving birth here, I will absolutely demand a referral, I think I've received an awful service.

I feel that my notes have not been read properly and this experience is ruining my pregnancy experience.
