I had a baby pre covid and I had lots of complications which meant trips to the hospital almost every day towards the latter stages and aside from my normal 2 scans at 12 and 20 weeks and a private gender scan at 16 weeks I went to all my appointments on my own because my husband works and we also have another child.... why are these people acting like heros? I'm as mad as anyone else that maternity services have gone to tit but people have been attending appointments alone for god knows how long just as a matter or circumstances. It would have looked strange had my husband came along to my midwife with me....
To be fair he'd have been entitled to go, companies can't stop partners from attending appointments, and if they do Citizens Advice can get on the case. I know a lot of people who prefer to have their partners there, especially for membrane sweeps and the early induction process. With my first having my partner there was actually really useful as he asked questions I'd forget about.
I agree though, they're not heroes for going to appointments alone. I went to my 12 and 20 week scan, and 2 visits to the maternity assesment unit for reduced movements alone and it was difficult, but I don't want a medal, I actually want to forget about the
tit care that has been provided!
It has annoyed me that Kate has acted like she's the only one to have gone through this, but I guess she's like that with everything.
With regards to the baby not sleep, why doesn't she invest in a sling, or something rather than taking the pram everywhere? Both of my babies love the sling and sleep in it most of the time.
If she did a bit of research she'd probably know that. But everything she does is a trend
