I saw the Early Pregnant Assessment Service due to a missed miscarriage I was having. First of all, they text me with the wrong date for my appointment, then they told me they would need me to have another ultrasound because they didn't have the required information from the previous ultrasound.
I arrived at the appointment and the second question I was asked was if this pregnancy was planned. I answered, yes, but why would that matter? Apparently it's just on the list of questions. In my opinion, I really don't see the relevance of asking someone who is having a miscarriage and clearly distressed, whether the pregnancy was planned. It seemed incredibly heartless and irrelevant.
The Dr then told me they had no ultrasound appointments and we could go ahead with "managing" the miscarriage without further examination. I asked why I was told I would need another ultrasound and now they weren't bothering with it. The Dr then agreed to let me have it but I had to organise it at a private radiology service.
I felt no confidence in the doctor and I really needed it at such a difficult time for my family.
