Midwife grumble
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2014 5:17 pm
Had standard 16 week appt today, bit late, but never mind.
Student midwife dipped urine, and said there were some leukocytes. All midwife said to me was that it was nothing to worry about. So why test for them then? So I looked it up when I got home, since I wasn't worried, AND since I know this is what she's like. Almost like 'you don't need to worry your pretty little head about it.'
I remember last time around almost the first thing she did when I first saw her at 34 weeks or something (I moved a couple of weeks before) was not give me the actual results of my glucose tolerance test. Just kept telling me it was 'fine'. Great, but I'd like to see the numbers.
As long as everything is fine it doesn't really matter, but it does annoy me a bit when health care professionals seem to want to treat you like you're a bit simple. Or is it worthwhile something to the team leader or similar?
