Went to see a specialist at 37th week and due to urgency, was supposed to schedule another appointment a week later. No calls to appointments were being made. Hence, called midwife and they said they managed to slot me in today so was told to go in the morning. Arrived at 9.30am, went for baby heart beat check, temperature and blood pressure check at noon. Told to sit outside at the corridor to wait. After 7.5 hours wait at 5pm, they finally told me no one is available to see me as it was very unfortunate the doctors were not around. Will schedule another appointment within next week with no confirmation of date. I will be 39th week pregnant by then and maybe baby has already popped without your 'professional' help and assistance!
Really? You told a 38 weeks pregnant woman to sit at a corridor for 7.5 hours for that? This hospital is a joke.
"Horrifying experience"
