June 2020 I lost my son at 20weeks of pregnancy. It was my second pregnancy. During my first pregnancy I was looked after very well. Second pregnancy I had no touch with my midwife at all. I had one midwife appointment which she cancelled because it wasn’t necessary. I didn’t know who she was, I only knew her name, I didn’t have any kind of contact to her. I found that very disrespectful and also felt neglected. My sonographer on the other hand was amazing, her name was Halima I believe, she was a muslim hijab wearing woman. She went through my scans so nicely and explained everything, on the 20weeks scan where she found no heartbeat it was only her who comforted me. She was there and she made sure I felt her presence that I wasn’t alone as she was grieving from a loss too. For that I respect her very much! I really think the midwifes need to step up and look after their patients. After loosing my son I didn’t even get a call from my midwife with whom I had another appointment just a week after my loss. Absolutely disgusting. The receptionist male&female are great.
