felt rushed with the community midwife

"felt rushed with the community midwife"

About: Dudley PCT The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust

(as the patient),

Went to my booking in appt. Told community midwife that I had been vomiting 10+ times daily, was on medication and couldnt eat or drink. She replied by telling me she felt sick too, and did so numerous times during the appt.

I was in and out in 15 minutes and didnt feel like I as very important, despite my previous pregnancy being high risk, and informing the midwife that I had miscarried earlier this year and was worried. I was given no reassurance and told I will get a scan in 5 weeks and should see her in 7 weeks.

It felt rushed and like the midwife didnt really care! !
