Would you be upset: no midwives showed up for their appointments and no one was told

Pre natal, maternity and post natal care in this country is not prioritised and treated as bottom of the barrel. It’s ridiculous and stinks of systemic misogyny. You are 1000% right to feel annoyed! There’s no point in complaining to the maternity services they don’t care but I would say going forward be thrawn in advocating for your care - next app they give you ask how they will let you know it is cancelled in future and request a number you can call to check if they will show up that day. It’s terrible women have to be like this when already in vulnerable positions. Wishing you health and happiness 💖💖

(rant over lol)

Yes. I’d be pissed off. I get mistakes happen but it is annoying and a waste of time.
Particularly when you’re worried or have questions. It is disrespectful.

Like if I didn’t turn up you would get a did not attend or kicked out if repeated… yet it happens all the time on their side.

I didn’t even see my midwives till about 22 weeks as they forgot about me. Apparently I’m meant to make the first appointment (but was not told this). I was meant to be seeing her every 2 weeks from 16 weeks apparently…
I was classed as high risk as well and had my scans.
I always found the antenatal ones pointless.. blood pressure, urine dip, listen to heart rate and out the door.
Like I thought we’d discuss birth plan, birth options, mental health, symptoms, what appointments happen after, what I can and can’t do, etc. but nothing
Thought she would see me antenatally as well but never saw her again haha

Even maternity was confused of why the midwife told me I was anemic but said it would be easier for me to buy the iron medication myself because a prescription would take 2 weeks…I have been paying out of pocket when I have an exemption, so they sorted it all
