help any UK moms?

Hi, i am 30+ weeks with my second pregnancy and I have changed hospit(because of it been close to us). But this hospital dosnt seem to care so much. They dont talk to U that much just do their check up quick and finish. And I have to go3-4 places for every app I have if its with my midwify, my GP or my hospital(wich is NOT the hospital I am going to deliver on). It makes me so confused ans soo worried they dont take me serious.
I want to get another scan to see how my baby is doing and how far along I am since all of them say diffrent. How can I do that? Just call the hospital??
I want to complaine about their sestem should I email NHS?
I feel I will be delivering at home because they make me so confuzed and my first delivery went fast. Sorry for the long vent.

Hey I'm the UK, and iv only been offered 2 scans at 12 and 20 weeks. I had another on Friday at 34 weeks but they only do that for increased bmi (I'm in hampshire btw)
my partner paid for me to have a private scan in Southampton and I'd highly recommend they are good. I think it was £79 but that included 4d as well.
My midwife and gp have been great with me as they both are in the same place. Hooe you get it sorted :) x

Thats NHS hun, as long your pregnancy is fine they offer only two scans, yes u can ask for more bt i cant tell you if they will give u. Its really frustrating i know its special time for us bt for them we are just another pregnant womens, of course you gt the rights to complain bt i'm not sure if all this gonna change anything. So yh talk to your gp and ither than that remember u can gt private scans any time you want, not sure but i think they around £50 x

I had the same experience & I've switched hospitals so glad I did. The new place is amazing & in reputation I wouldn't have expected that. Im a first time mum so went to the new place with some concerns that turned put to be nothing. They couldnt have been nicer or more understanding. You have options then don't settle some hospitals are terrible.  I'd name the place I was at before  but I'm not sure if they'd block the posts??
