Hi there, just wondered if anyone has asked for a change of midwife during labour?
There is one particular midwife in my 'team' that I really really don't want as I have no confidence in her at all. She was there for part of my first labour and told me I was having pelvic twinges even tho I did my best to convince her I was having proper contractions. (Boy did they get a shock when they found I was 6cm!)
Unfortunately I've seen her for an antenatal aptmt this pg when she told me my pelvic pain was just down to it being my 2nd pg. 6 weeks later I've found out that its actually SPD thats causing the pain. Consequently I'm now dreading going into labour and having her but what are the politics/realities of specifying who you don't want? Any advice/suggestions?
