I had been through 3 early miscarriages in succession. For the first I was sent to Kettering A&E and the gynae was very dismissive, saying she would get me in the next morning for an urgent scan in case of an ovarian cyst - the scan was arranged 4 weeks later! The third miscarriage my GP sent me to A&E where I waited sitting next to a pregnant woman - the nurse was very helpful when I was in tears and let me wait in a room around the side so as not to feel traumatised whilst I was miscarrying. The nurses were great. Unfortunately after a long wait I saw a gynae (different one to the last time) who told me these were not ''proper miscarriages'' as they were early ones and had me in tears even worse than when she came in by being so dismissive.No bedside manners for someone mourning 3 babies. she said the NHS wouldn't do anything for me. this turned out to be untrue as a referral was made by my GP to Northamptonshire hospital gynae dept who did various bloods and found the cause of the miscarriages.
