Booking appointment in ballymena.

Just had my booking appointment in Ballymena, absolutely terrible experience. The lady scanning me made me cry before I even got scanned with how rude she was. She didn't even get a decent scan picture. To add more fuel to the fire the midwife doing the booking part of the appointment fat shamed me and refused to let be seen by the doctor who's seen me through all my loses. He told me I just have to request in that appointment to see him. Best scan picture out of bad bunch attached. 11+6. Anyone one else had any experiences like this here?

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Don’t let their rudeness ruin your joy of the miracle growing inside you. Enjoy every minute 🩷 you can choose to go elsewhere for care! I had a brilliant experience in Craigavon with the home birth team xxx

Aww sorry to hear this. I’m sure you could call the appointment line and ask to speak to the consultant’s secretary for a referral or maybe wait til your next appointment and ask again.

My first scan was awful picture quality too in Ballymena, and had a bit of a poor experience with the midwife doing my booking she wqs very abrupt and just hammered on to me about breast feeding (which is said 8 didnt want to do) Definitely request a different midwife or put a complaint in, 12 week scan is such a nerve wrecking appointment you definitely shouldnt be made to feel like that🤍 If it helps i never had a poor appointment following my 12 week one, being consultant led saw to that, i hope it is the same for you🤍

Some midwife’s are lovely and some are just there to do a job. I had my baby Jan 2022 and had full on row with the midwife over Covid jabs. I outright refused all throughout my pregnancy as there is no long term evidence and she kept arguing I was putting my baby at risk and couldn’t believe my attitude. I argued for her to show me the actual medical evidence to prove it which she obviously couldn’t so I won that argument. She was the only midwife I had issues with

Just because there a midwife doesn't mean they are a good person.... alot of them are...but we've good n bad everywhere I'd report her if u weren't happy

You could write on care opinions website if you wanted it to be followed up. Sorry you went through that
