I know i am totally late in replying but i just couldn't let it go by without a mention… Meow, what a total shock it must have been to open that email, whilst in hindsight it does trend with her immature style of practise but still WOW. Did you email her back? It seems that you have had one trial after another with this pregnancy you should be patting yourself on the back that you have stayed sane throughout it all!! Whatever sane is while pregnant! The first of your interviews woulds so promising and i agree with the other girls a great late relationship is better than a long drawn out poor relationship! You deserve the midwife support you want and i so hope that one of these two ladies are the answer to your concerns and that you have the best ever 3rd trimester someone can have!
Dotface that story was lovely but also just such a sad reminder of the harsh realities of birth so many women face! How are you feeling now about your birth experience, we sort of moved on from your post but that doesn't mean any of us don't want to hear how you are feeling xx
Bella: you look and sound so happy on your Facebook posts!!!!
I agree- if you ever need to keep talking and processing, we are here Dot Face. There is also a private birth trauma group you can join if you want to discuss it in private xx
Tegam I didn't reply to her email for a few days. I was so mad it was just going to be a big rant and I didn't know what to say. Yesterday I just found our health insurance aren't paying for a blood test I had because they didn't have her listed as the referring clinician. So I emailed her about it and kept it all business. Then I figured I needed to at least respond to her other email so I wrote back that I hadn't known how to respond as I was shocked she would do this over email. I corrected some statements she made to remind her that I hadn't actually met up with any other MWs (she said I had and told me to continue care with them) and that I don't believe we ever had differences in philosophy for birth and postpartum care (I think she was trying to arse cover and act like I had this crazy different philosophy and it was bull). Kept it short but couldn't bring myself not to correct lies!
Next MW appointment tomorrow. Will be glad to have that done and a decision made and get moving forward!
