Wow where do I start with my experience. I attended the gestational diabetes clinic, the appointment started off well , but I felt ended on a very sour note. I felt the two doctors I seen lectured me about why I should have the Covid vaccine. In my opinion they were using scare tac ticks to do so. I had spoken to my community Midwife previously and she had advised me against it, but now all of a sudden I'm told it’s perfectly safe. The consultant could have at least waited before I fully closed to door before making his rude comments. I am sick of the feeling of being pushed from pillar to post. Supporting mother’s to be, I don't feel supported. I feel there's a lack of support and feel some of my concerns are dismissed.
I had preeclampsia with my first son and was continually dismissed until late into my pregnancy and ended up in a hypertensive state before my son was delivered. Nearly costing us both our lives and lack of communication is the answer i was given for why it happened. I had to sort my own scan appointment today as the wrong date was given. I was also told I would be having extra observations and scans, however 36 weeks is when it’s been deemed appropriate to check my baby. in my opinion this is disgusting service.
