STUPID MIDWIFE GRRR

Just having a rant... Over the past week or so my baby girls movements have decreased so i thought i would phone hospital and see if they would have me in to check her... i phoned last night and the stupid woman told me they wouldn't see me cause i wasn't 24 weeks... bearing in mind i was 23+6!!!! I was left feeling so upset... went to bed and woke up still not feeling her so I phoned again and they made me an appointment for half 11 this morning... Thank god everything is okay... she seems to be lay in my back behind waters so her kicks are not as strong at times... had a lovely woman see me and she told me to complain cause I was given the wrong info and they should of had me in last night, that they see women as early as 17/18 weeks... jus made me soooo mad cause anything could of happened you know? All she could say was 'oh I'm sure everything is okay but we won't see you been as your not 24 weeks so you will just have to wait for your midwife appointment on Tuesday'....
just glad all is well...

Thanks mammas :-) I said to my hubby that if I did complain then it wouldn't even be for me... I was lucky that my baby girl was okay but what would have happened if someone phoned and something bad happened while they were waiting? It's just unbearable to think about xx
