Fuming with the hospital! Can i change?
I am soo mad with the hospital im meant to be having my baby at! They have a "choose and book" appointment system - i did this and my appointment is for next weds for my scan, etc.
Met my midwife at the gp surgery today and she was an angel - fine for me to have the appointment next week and really built my confidence up with the local hospital. Then I arrived home to a letter telling me that the hospital have changed the appointment til19th Dec!!!! When i tried to ring them it was a bloody nightmare - it seems they couldnt arrange a piss up in a brewery. We have arranged childcare and my husband has lost a shift at work because of this appointment and now they want to change it!
Am soooo stressed I dont want anything more to do with this hospital - has anyone else had probs and changed, if so how do you do it? I would rather have it organised properly and wait another 2 months for my scan then step foot in the local maternity unit.
Please help am soo upset at the thought of going there!

I was fuming cause the good for nothing receptionists at my docs didnt even bother refering me. I'm passed my 12 weeks. No midwife. No twelve week scan. Nothing. Had so many problems and pains. Had no one to speak to and when i tried making an appointment with the docs they say speak to you midwife when they contact you.
I see my doctor less these days!!! When i was in hospital cause of a bleed and had to stay over a friend called and asked how i was and how the baby was. The woman in charge of the ward asked what baby!!!!!!!!!! after giving things for pain without checking my chart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ridiculous.......these people shouldnt be working with people's lives. i am angry too. i was hoping to change but cause we dont drive i needed a hospital close enough to get to by taxi and for check ups. and of course traffic is always bad.
Oh and btw... no one has got back to me to tell me whether there is space at that hospital..
They are still messing me about and on top of everything else i'm dealing with a divorce and a mother in law from hell.
I am not having a good time. But as my mum said.Us woman were born strong. I do miss having family around. Everyone is in south africa. I'm the only one here. I'm in london btw crochetmom
Have you got a lot of friends in London to support you Tashy? Are you in central london or outside? I moved from Watford (20 mins) away from london to be 200 miles up north and am missing the hustle and bustle big time.
Tashy, I know how you feel doctors are SO unsympathetic about early pregnancy - at least that's what I found! I had bleeding early on several times, when it stopped it started again a day later so I called the GP a few times. The second time it happened I spoke to the receptionist who said the GP would call me back...the receptionist called me back and told me my GP had arranged a scan for me. I was worried and said could I speak to the doctor please and she said fine, I was put through and the GP told me she had arranged the scan, and she had a surgery to run I was wasting her time (!!!!!!)
I was furious. Okay I was only 6/7 weeks and it is very common but thats no excuse, reassurance meant a lot to me and if I had miscarried I would be devastated.
However the sonographer and nurse at the hospital were absolutely brilliant and I couldn't fault them. Going for my next scan in 3 and a half weeks!
