Nightmare day rant!!
Show your support
Aww so sorry you’ve had such an awful day. Doctors nowadays are absolutely awful and super unhelpful, especially when they make you feel like an awful mam and a first time mam. I feel like it’s a constant battle with doctors as there is no communication between any of them whatsoever quite often which just adds to the frustration. I went to the GP yesterday with my daughter as she’s got a reoccurring chesty cough that comes and goes every 6-8 weeks which today sounds quite barky/seal like, she’s warm and clammy to the touch but cold on her hands and feet with no temperature and random outbursts of crying and screaming and all I’ve got told is to keep an eye on her, even though the cough has been there for more than 7 days😕 Hopefully your little one will be on the mend soon and feeling loads better. And I think you’re a great mam, especially after a rough day like this with being messed about by healthcare professionals and being given the wrong information x
Oh my god I would lose it. Having to do all that with a sick baby sounds like a nightmare. I’m sorry you’ve had a shit day
@Sarah thank you so much ❤️
@Julia awful! It’s so hard because as their mums, we know when something is wrong and people just don’t listen. I really hope you get to the bottom of what’s wrong with your little one, and that she feels better soon. And I hope you’re okay x
@Victoria~ thank you so much ❤️ she was a total angel the whole time luckily
What an absolute shambles! Makes me angry/upset just reading this. I definitely would've had a meltdown!! Don't be too hard on yourself 💕 You've done great! It might've been a nightmare of a day, but you got there in the (veeeery) end. Hopefully the antibiotics kick in soon and your daughter will feel better again!
I’m so sorry. We’ve had experiences like this and I’ve ended up in tears. Taking care of a sick baby is hard enough without all of this nonsense too! Exhausting and ridiculous you have to go through this!
My goodness… that’s a lot. Have a glass of wine! Thankfully you got he apology, but that’s beside the point!
So sorry you’ve had such a rough day, communication at hospitals is truly awful at the moment and have experienced it getting worse with my dad’s cancer care and having to wait for prescriptions and for his injections to arrive from labs at a different hospital. I’ve sent you a message if you want to have a chat at any point x
Yeah I would have had a full blown meltdown myself, so sorry that happened 😓 tomorrow is a new day! X
@Aicha thank you so much Aicha, I appreciate that 😭🫶🏼
@Rebecca it’s so reassuring to hear that others lost it as well, my nervous system only regulated hours and hours later. Thank you for your kind words xxx
@Zoe right?! I appreciated the apology but that nurse/receptionist at paediatrics really needs some training or maybe she was having a bad day too but she just did not help at all
@Emily that sounds awful for your dad, what a total mess 😞

@Candace today has been so much better already! Thank you 🩷
@Ari oh absolutely! We're only human and already in a stress state worrying about our poorly babies! The other day a woman on 111 said she'd call me back, I was begging her not to hang up as three people had already said they would and didn't. She did actually call me back and I burst into tears when I answered the phone as I was so relieved she'd actually called back! She was the only person who was kind and understanding to me that day and actually got us to the care we needed xxx
I truly hope you have a better weekend ❤️
