Thanks ladies... hearing that there is minimal risk of scar rupture during pregnancy has eased my mind alot!!
Charliesmumma.. Tweed has been ok. To be honest- it hast been the BEST... especially for me. i am high risk and it took me until like 28 weeks to get into the high risk clinic due to lack of organisation by the clinic- i kept asking for appt with a high risk dr and got fobbed off to my GP or mid wife visits-for some reason i was on shared care?! When i finaly saw a high risk DR they asked why it took so long for me to see them- i explained i tried- i had a referall letter in my chart- and i kept asking- but i got overlooked. I ended up cancelling my appt they had scheduled and making my own appt on the high risk day to get there. Even when i went to make my next appt the reception lady said to me- oh you dont need to come on tuesdays(high risk day) and i had to be adament with her and say yes i do- pull out my chart for a read one day if you want- (mulitple mis/c- loss at 18 weeks- placental abruption and loss at 35 weeks- and no live children... ummmmmm.... anyone else think i qualify for high risk??? The dr's certainly do!!)
As far as VBAC friendly- they are indeed VBAC friendly- just not for me due to past abruption- the midwives are lovely- but its just a VERY busy place... i wait at least an hour for appts and most of the time blood results and scan results dont make it into my chart- they sit in a pile somewhere and even if i specifically ask them to check for any results and put them in my chart so the dr can see them- we still end up spending most of the appt chasing the results that are sitting in a pile in the reception office. I havent been to a hospital clinic before- so this could be normal and happen anywhere i spose- but i find it VERY annoying- and i feel like a number- not a pregnant woman getting good care. Mind you when i did get to see a good dr- he was very thouroughand spent a fair bit of time with me, but getting there is the drama!!
Sorry if thats put you off- but thats how i feel it is there... drs are good- but the reception lacks organisation big time!!!
We are looking like having the c section at 38 weeks... so 5 and a bit weeks to go- i am getting nervous and excited big time!!! I cant beleive i am really gonna bring a baby home!!!!!
Take care everyone
