Just writting to let you know how sorry i am about what you have been through, i know how it feels to not trust the hospital, and it makes pregnancy so much more scary
I hope you never have to go through this again!
I lost my son on May 3rd, he was stillborn, 20weeks1day, and i had some bad experiences at the hospital too.
I have my follow up appointment in a weeks time, and im worried that they may leave things out and such because they seem very shifty.
I only had my first app at the hospital at 19weeks even though i knew about my pregnancy since 8weeks6days and my doctor had sent off a referral to the hospital at 9weeks, i cant believe i had to wait so long to get into the hosp to be seen!! but i thought i could wait it out and i never thought i was going to lose my son so i didnt think anything of it.
That same week of the first app, i gave birth to my son, and i am dissapointed in the hospital about that
Also i am not happy with the insensitivity of the triage nurse in the E.R when my waters broke, she said "go to the toilet" i thought are you kidding me? 5 hours later he would be a viable pregnancy so i wasnt going to listen to her, luckily another doctor came to get me.
I have a feeling it was gestational diabetes because at my first app at 19weeks i got checked for sugar lvls and it was 9.5 but i was to wait till next tuesday for my 2hr sugar test and well i didnt make it to that, so im worried they wont bring this up, because i am angry that this wasnt detected sooner, and i am angry because if i had an earlier app than 19weeks this could have been prevented (if it was gest. diabetes)
I have a feeling they will give some reason that doesnt make them look bad, by not bringing this up, and no matter what i am going to ask why it took so long for an app because i am not happy that i had to wait 19weeks for a first app about my pregnancy, i find it disgusting actually, i'm sure theyll prob come up with some waiting list reason or something.
So i do know how you feel when you question the hospital, and i am going to make sure for my next pregnancy i get seen asap and i will demand to be seen if i dont get an app asap.
I am not going to go through this situation again.
I also didnt have 1 person responsible for my care, even after the first app i had to then wait to see a doctor for examination and THEN get an OB, so i would have had to wait longer if i was still pregnant, just to get a specific doctor.
