38+2 and need to rant!!
So I have been cramping a lot the past week and have also had lots of lower back/hip pain, braxton hicks and fatigue. I was meant to be going for my 38 week appointment with my midwife today (I haven’t seen her since 35 weeks) and she was meant to be doing a GBS swab and I was also going to ask for her to check my cervix and potentially do a stretch and sweep (I haven’t had my cervix checked at all yet so no idea if I’ve started to dilate) and I got a text this morning saying my appointment has been rescheduled to 5 days from today (when I’ll be 39 weeks) because my midwife is sick. I’m really annoyed by this as I had quite a few things I wanted to go through with her and have been hanging out for this appointment for weeks. I see my midwife and OB privately but will be having my baby at a public hospital. Should I contact the hospital and ask if I can be checked? I’d just like to know if we’re at least on the way…. So frustrated!!!!!
