Phone midwife/ Antenatal appointments.

So I’m Pregnant with baby number 1 and this COV19 has really imprinted on my experience.

Firstly, I’m super gutted that my partner isn’t permitted to attend any scans even though he helped make this baby but we’ll let that one go ...

Secondly the anxiety of the unknown is what’s really gripping families . Where’s the info on covid and it’s affects on pregnancy?!? I am fully over hearing the line ‘not much research has been conducted’ ... give us some info... settle our minds already!

Now the reason I write this post; I’ve received a letter about appointments now being done by phone unless it’s a scan... now this has really worried me.

It’s already awful not knowing if all’s okay inside but not being physically assessed until a scan just makes me so much more anxious... if something goes wrong nobody will know until it’s way too late!

I know some prefer the less contact but for me I just wanna know lil babs is safe and happy!

Has everyone received the new antenatal schedule in the post?

What did your phone meeting with the Dr/ midwife consist of?
