"Midwives don't check properly."

About: St James's University Hospital / Maternity care

I've been going in a fair few times now due to different problems. I went in due to discharge. Was given treatment (same treatment I've been on since 28 weeks - now 37 weeks 4 days). The midwives we're talking loudly about everyone so nothing was keot personal. Then i heard them testing mine and another ladies wee and gave the other lady MY results. They didn't even correct themseoves either. I went in on the 5th April due to contractions and loss of fluid. They've put it down to thrush AGAIN for nesrly the 10th week running.. didn't bother testing my pains that I'm STILL having. Just told me to ring back in a few days for swab results. They did this with my first child back in 2016 and kept telling me i had bacterial vaginosis when in fact my placenta had calcified but they couldn't be bothered checking me properly. Midwives and doctors don't communicate with each other at all. I had to explain my concern at least 4 times and still never got to the bottom of it. Was sent home multiple times with NO answers!
