RANT!!!

Hmm...

That post wouldn't put me off your midwife. I'm not sure what part they'd be refering to.

I guess it could be " friend tried her but said she didnt feel comforatble with her". To my mind, that's not that off-putting... everyone's different and you're pretty clear that you liked her a lot! I'd expect different people to gell with differnt midwives.

Or maybe "she new how to tell me to pull my head in" - this might not be what everyone's looking for in a midwife? Still, doesn't strike me as particularly out of line.

Nope, not sure sorry!

i personally dont see anything wrong with it. surely those are pretty little things to be upset about and it just makes it realistic. i almost suggest she pull her head in (in the nicest way possible) she seems really good so i dont understand how that could in anyway be bad for her rep

From your post she sounds like a brilliant midwife but is being a bit silly and childish now. If i was looking that post would cause me to ring and ask for an appoinment to meet her. I wouldnt worry about it anymore as there was nothing in what you said that would give her bad rep. It was honest information and thats what you want in a recomendation

Thanks guys............apparently this person from here said that she wasnt happy with my comment and would not go to MW cause of that...............and if the person is reading this i would luv them to PM to tell me why............and when i did post it if someone had questions i would have hoped they would have asked them ...everyone is intitled to an opionion and i respect that .......didnt think i was that scary anyway or maybe its my boys pic that is scary

yeah i did think about that buzzybee after the last post ............ just hope the person is more mature then that............. and yeah i have heard bout souch auckland region i think maybe we should start a thread about who NOT to go too..........wat fire will come out of that

I dont see anything wrong with your post at all!!!! obviously this person is OVERLY sensitive!!

yeah she did say it to me directly that is why i wanted to ask peoples opionions

Definitely doesn't sound bad at all.

Personally I'd be more pissed off that someone was "telling me off", albeit in a subtle way, or even questioning anything I say on a message board. FFS, you can say what you want. End of story.

so it sounds then like someone read your post, took it differently than what you intended, made it sound worse then told your mw... duh to your mw believing it without confirming...she is damaging her own rep by being juvenile about it.

i think that as mothers it is our job to inform others of our mw experiences, and if they did a bad job and their rep gets damaged then its as it should be.

if you were concerned you could tell her exactly what you said, chances are she hasnt got the full story.
