bloody midwife
just spoken to the midwife at the ante natal clinic as i still haven't recieve my bookin in appointment . I'm nine weeks pregnant, and have recieved my scan date for the 18th march so thought i'd give them a ring just to check it hasn't been missed. The midwife i spoke to said that because i'm out of area (i've chose to have the baby at the hospital i work at as a nurse not my local hospital) i won't get a booking in appointment!!! She said just bring your notes to the scan, i told her i haven't got any as i haven't seen a midwife yet. she's going to give me some when i go for my scan so i can fill them in, and then they'll do bloods after the scan. I'm really upset by this as i feel that i'm being treat differently because i'm out of area, and i now don't know if i want to have my baby there if this is how there going to treat me. This actually upset me so much it made me cry, am i just being over sensitive or does this seem really unfair????

Girlinleeds, which hospital are you going to? I live halfway between Leeds and Wakefield, I have a Wakefield postcode but I count as Leeds health authourity. Last time round I gave birth at St.James' but I wasn't really happy so this time I am going to Pontefract and it is causing huge problems! Because my community midwife is in a different area to the hospital no one seems to know what the other one is doing! I didn't get a proper booking appointment because the both thought the other ones were doing it, it might be worth seeing if you can speak to the local community midwifes because maybe they should be doing your booking?

This is my first, so really didn't know what to expect!
I hope everything sorts itself out for you.
