[QUOTE="azure, post: 1053313, member: 39639"] When I was pregnant, I had my scans and consultations in the same place. So, I'd have a scan then have an appointment afterwards where the results of the scan were discussed plus any other pregnancy/diabetes things, including any questions I had. I always saw a team. This consisted of a number of different people - Consultant Obstetrician, Consultant Diabetes Specialist, DSN, midwife. So at that appointment I had both my pregnancy AND diabetes covered. I thought this was common all over the UK? If you're not happy with your care, you should speak to someone. If you were told to go there by a consultant, then couldn't the person there have checked that? Did they read your notes? There should be good communication between the people involved in your care. I'm not sure who you could speak to, but my suggestion would be the Director of Midwifery services at the hospital. I believe it's them you need to contact if you're unhappy with your care, as that's what I was told (I'm in the UK). [/QUOTE]
