Back at 20 weeks when I had my level 2 ultrasound they told me I should come back at 32 or 34 weeks (I don't remember which one) for another ultrasound just to check on things. A few weeks ago at my midwife appointment I talked to her around it. We check out the stuff they sent over from the Perinatal clinic and saw nothing about it. I said I would call and see what they say. I didn't really care one way or another if I had another ultrasound. It's fun to see him but it wasn't a big deal if I didn't get it.
The following Monday (my midwife appointment was on a busy Friday and I didn't get a chance to call) I called and talked to a nurse at the clinic. I was shocked to hear what they had to say. Apparently there was a whole page that never got sent over. This page was pretty important, according to them at least.
This page said I should be seen weekly from 28 weeks on for monitoring. Both weekly ultrasounds and NST. What? The nurse thought it was an overkill since my test results all came back normal. She said she would fax it over to my midwife and she could set up a referral to get a growth ultrasound. Then we would go from there deciding what to do about these weekly appointments.
After the run around I finally got my appointment with them set up for Monday, June 2nd at 2:30. Worst time possible. Today I had my 32 week midwife appointment and was devastated when I left. According to these notes I can't have a water birth anymore because I am considered high risk. Not only that but I have to be induced by 40 weeks.
WTF!?!?!?!
The whole point in going to a midwife was to AVOID interventions and be able to have a water birth.
She said to talk with them about changing that status because she can't. Her hands are tied and I totally understand. If they won't change it she said she will bring it up with the other midwives and try to get it changed. I already told her if I had to be induced I just wouldn't show up to my induction. Kegan and Karie were both late. While I don't want this one to be, I am expecting him to be late. I don't want to be induced AGAIN. That increases my chances of getting a c-section and I don't want that. I just want a normal uneventful birth. WHY IS THAT SO HARD!??!?
Baby K is fine. My tests came back totally normal and my ultrasounds have too!!!
If I would have never called, we would have never known that my status had changed.
If I was so high risk you would think that after 4 weeks of "missed" appointments they would have called or something.
I'm so angry.
WHY CAN'T SOMETHING GO SMOOTHLY?!?!!
Drama. I haz it.
