Back on the rollercoaster again...

Well yesterday came and I still hadn't heard about my follow up scan so I called the u/s office to enquire about what was happening, the receptionist said the Dr wasn't there and to call back in the morning! Where has customer service gone, do receptionists not take messages anymore?

So I call again this morning only to be told by a different receptionist that they have spoken with my ob and he will be organising my u/s with monash medical centre, with the fetal diagnostic unit (the hospital that I had DD and had chosen not to go back to for many reasons, I do not have faith in their FDU), so I call my ob and ask him what is happening, he says I have to go for a scan at MMC, I asked if he was going to organise that for me and he kind of fumbled and just said 'oh'. I said what am I meant to organise it myself? He says oh um are you coming back to me for any more appointments? Well yes, you are my Ob!!! So I have an appointment with him on Monday, he is going to organise the u/s with MMC. I have a funny feeling that he has referred me to MMC without telling me! I am just kind of stuck with no idea what is happening.

I have decided in the meantime that I will go to MMC for my u/s and to deliver, they delivered Matilda and she is doing well so I am trying to have faith that they will deliver Annabelle and care for her the same. I am a bit scared of my chances of a VBAC there though, I see that dream flying out the window, but I will speak with them.

In the meantime, I have been bleeding this morning, I freaked out, called my GP went down to see her, she had a look, my cervix is closed and the blood had gone brown and there are no clots, she has referred me for an u/s at 3pm, since then there has been no bleeding, I feel like I have just jumped to conclusions for nothing.

Why can things not be easier? I am a bit over getting stuffed about, where has communication and common curtusy gone especially when it comes to such a delicate matter? I wish there was a competent hospital near by.
