Hi hun and welcome on board. Most consultant take new members when there pregnant. I wanted to rejoin in the beginning of jan and looked on line for my nearest group. The C number was on there so I dropped her a txt explaining I was expecting and was I ok to come back, she said yes. Im no good with group and prefer to go solo with minimins for my support group so I diddnt stay many weeks, but she was getting me a form that my mindwife had to sign to say she was ok with it, also, from what I read in the leaflet she gave me, the form would have to be re-signed everytime I saw my mindwife.
As for your scan woman, quite frankly I think shes bloody rude and too quick to judge, it wouldnt do for us all to be the same. Maybe she was having difficulties as mine did, but this can be explained in a morfe friendly manner than making you feel bad as this isnt going to do you or the baby any good. LIke I said, my scan woman struggled abit as I have a large apron from previouse weight loss, but she explained it without being rude.
