Decided not to buy clothes from a company which describes it’s boys’ range thus
All our boys’ clothes are specially designed with movement in mind.”
While their girls’ clothes are inspired by
They are “ethical” though … all organic & cut for cloth & overpriced *roll*
Have written my letter to the consultant midwife outlining exactly what I want as far as antenatal care goes (i.e. to see her & my consultant of choice only), and explaining (resisted ranting but did include ’spectacularly poor management’ & ‘insensitive’) why I’m not registered with a GP & am not willing to have them involved at any point.
I’m feeling stressed about it already (it was great with J because mum did all my antenatal care - well better than great, fabulous 
). I hate going through my obstetric history (G8P2 now), I hate being touched by people, I know my BP will be high. I get upset by them treating me like an idiot & tired of being assertive. I’m not uncooperative nor am I unsafe - I’ll decline unnecessary tests - serum screening (we always decline), HIV/hep B/rubella (I’ve been screened a billion times in the last 8 years - nothing has changed), GTT (unless I start peeing sugar), weighing - I’ll save them money 
I’m happy to have anti-D & antibody levels done, anomaly scan, I’ll pee on as many sticks as they want & submit to PET bloods because my BP will be astronomical (my record for C’s pregnancy was 190/120 - impressive huh) & I know that they can’t take my word for it that it is just white coat. I’ll even take my vile ferrous sulphate like a good patient.
It might be okay … mum says the mw is very nice .. she works with the lovely trauma & bereavement obstetrician … her job spec is dealing with difficult women (wasn’t how they put it) - elective sections by maternal request & HBACs against medical advice kind of stuff.
Was only sick once today (mint viscount - my own fault), children have been delightful as well
Crap company that.
Love and hugs for all the other crap- stand your ground. xxxx
