Good old British NHS!

So yesterday I turned 37 weeks... I've been in hospital once to twice a week every week since I turned 27 weeks... Three weeks ago I was reduced to once a week and last week back onto twice a week. I'm meant to have a consultant due to having Obstetric Cholestasis! I've seen him twice in 10 weeks and was due to see him today (he booked the appointment)...

I went in on Tuesday to have my 37 week scan, observations and consultation! Turns out my consultant is in Syria, I thoroughly understand that people have holidays but every 'random' Doctor they send in to see me doesn't read my notes and asks the same old questions.

This new Doctor has decided that I'm to have a 38 week scan to establish if I'm to be induced or not that week... That's being carried out the day before I turn 39 weeks! I realise I'm ranting and my poor Mam and Fiancée went through all this with me this morning but I'm ticked off!

I'm meant to be prescribed Vitamin K, the doctor today said they'd given me my prescription to go and collect... We drove home and it wasn't there!

I've come back to Antenatal after spending two hours here this morning to spend another hour talking with a senior midwife, purely down to how annoying it's been... Don't think my consultant is back when I'm due my "38" (eherm 39 week) scan and that's the whole point in making me wait that long!

Sooooooooooooooo excessively long story short they sorced me a new consultant who was asked to read "ALL" my notes and then let me know what happening!

I was requested to see him yesterday and he's decided that although my bile acid levels have been good getting still wants to induce me early as a precaution. So I'm going in on Wednesday at 7am...

(as a side bar last week they said I had out right pre-eclampsia... Admitted me to the ward and then discharge me an hour later when they had been using old equipment on me in Antenatal... The old blood pressure monitor shows me high blood pressure for some unbeknown reason...)

On a positive note the midwife I spoke to on Tuesday seems to be getting some well needed answers for me without having to ask me all the questions I get asked everytime I go in... 😳
