"On my first maternity visit for ..."

About: Princess Alexandra Hospital (Harlow)

(as the patient),

What I liked

On my first maternity visit for my 12 week scan I feel I was treated badly at the ultrasound reception area, not the antenatal reception they were very helpful. I felt belittled and made to feel very uneducated and looked down on. I understand from the public as I am a very young looking mother tobe but not from a professional member of staff who is supposed to treat everyone equal. For your information I am 18.
