Always feel rushed and a burden when I finally get to the doctor every single appointment I have ever had has always been very late. No understanding or care whatsoever. I thought I had a miscarriage to which the doctor responded do you still feel pregnant! What a joke! Also wouldn't give me a scan as they said was aso waste of resources just do a pregnancy test in 3 days and if its positive you are still pregnant but it does sound like a miscarriage. Firstly I was obviously in distress and im not asking them to hold my hand but some sort if human response would have been nice. Also the information wasnt true, you can have a miscarriage and still get a positive pregnancy test for up to 2 weeks after as the hormones are still in your body. And I needed a scan, apart from for my own sanity if I had miscarried I needed to be checked that everything had gone otherwise it would need to be removed so not a waste of resources! I rang the pregnancy unit who said I did indeed need a scan and another doctor referred me. Luckily all was fine but this doctor did not help at all
