Hi everyone! Apologies in advance if this is TMI but I really need some advice. I’m currently 34+6 weeks pregnant, and a couple of weeks ago I started having some fluid leaking. I went and got it checked out at the hospital and they diagnosed it as being an infection even though I had 0 symptoms at all (I probably should have pushed for further checks but at the time I took what the doctor was telling me) I was given treatment for 7 days and have noticed things have got significantly worse. After speaking to my midwife yesterday I contacted my GP today and asked for an appointment for further checks for them to confirm that my results from the hospital actually showed no signs of infection and I shouldn’t have been given any treatment. This is the second time they’ve done this to me since being pregnant, and I feel like I’ve been given misinformation throughout my whole pregnancy about mine and baby’s health - I haven’t even been allowed to make a birth plan yet as I’ve been waiting for a heart scan for 6 months to confirm if I can have a natural birth or not despite it being requested 4 times. I feel like I’ve lost complete trust in them and knowing I could give birth soon is filling me with anxiety and I’m supposed to trust them with her life and a safe delivery. I don’t even trust they’ve got her gender right at this point. Being a first time mum this has just filled me with nothing but fear, anxiety and ruined something that is supposed to be a happy time. Has anyone else experienced this or something similar? I really don’t know what to do🤦🏼♀️

Yes. I was leaking fluid and was told I wasn't several times in Wrexham. Long story short my baby was dry at 36 weeks and born in an emergency. Luckily he is here to tell the tale but has very limited vision in one of his eyes.
