Starting to nhs don't give a crap!
Hey ladies Needing a wee moan, will give abit background so you can understand why I'm grumpy, didn't have a great experience with my midwifes on first pregnancy, received a lot of attitude due to choosing a different hospital from the one they worked in, one even made be cry over a disagreement over matb1 forms, Anyway I'm a glass half full person, and my friend told me policies had changed so with a positive attitude I phoned up this morning to book my 6 week booking in appointment, only to receive an answer machine message saying to leave my name and I'll be called back in 4 hours, bit miffed but as I wasn't going out and understandably midwifes can be busy so thot oh well! And give them their due, they did call back, woman polite enough but was a bad connection so had to ask her to repeat herself a couple which seemed to annoy her, then she couldn't find me in system, nhs still using my maiden name despite it being changed with them over a year ago! And the real highlight of the call they can't give me an appointment till 11th September! I will be 9 weeks by that point! I know guidance is 6 weeks plus, but I was expecting 7 weeks at the most! 4 week wait for an appointment seems abit of a joke! Im from a small town there can't be that many people pregnant in my area! Looks like I was right with first judgement of the midwifes in my area x

It's not nice when your messed about. I'm presuming your on a district border with wanting to have an alternative hospital to your community mw....with that in mind can you swap community mw teams?
My booking in appointment isn't till I'm 11 weeks but maybe thats because its my second?
