so only now finding out, midwife told me i didnt need the whooping cough jab a few weeks ago but now im 37 weeks ive…

my hospital and midwife have been crap the only person whos been amazing is my health visitor xx @karenb1601

id complain to pals hun. its not good enuf. the care should meet a minimum standard across the nhs and the advice given comes from nice so should be adhered to. i was lucky with my midwife she was amazing and so were my hospital @danielleallen110 x

i asked my midwife about it as id seen it online somewhere and she said that i didnt really need it, so i read earlier that i did actually need it and it can be fatal to babies, why gee thanks midwife for that one, so i phoned and made an appointment earlier i couldnt get one until next friday but will be having a word with her as shes been bloody useless right through this pregnancy, ive been waiting for her to make an appointment with the consultant from 31 or so weeks i think could of been earlier but only last week i had one for tuesday (2nd august) and im now 37 weeks , its ridiculous, thankyou though chick xx @karenb1601

this is from the nhs website hun. i didnt get my letter until i was 36 weeks and it took another 2 weeks to get an appointment. id be raging with my midwife if i were u x Pregnant women can help protect their babies by getting vaccinated – ideally at 20 weeks, after the foetal scan, up to 32 weeks pregnant. If for any reason you miss having the vaccine, you can still have it up until you go into labour. For more information, see When should I have the vaccine? @danielleallen110 x
