How do I make sure that I can get an early scan because I've had...

to missed miscarriages and I need, you know, reassurance, mental health reassurance and not just going to a private clinic and paying 120 quid.

I need my actual doctor because I know I could get really bad news at that scan.

Or, you know, how do I make sure that

You know, there's lots of different reasons how to make sure that even I'm not missing half a day of work that I know that like when I go to my appointment, it's going to be at the appointment time.

So it's all of these things that add up to why women want a choice.

And again, it's not really a full on choice because it's only women who have means get this choice.

Yeah, exactly.

Which is why most people want it to exist in the public system.

It's like, well, you want to be able to choose between midwife led or consultant led or, um, you know, what, what, what type of scans and when and, um,

Yeah, it's I think that's the detail that has been missing from the government side who have conflated, who have like, you know, allowed this argument to be conflated into this choice argument.

It's like, well, where is the detail that in like you keep saying that consultants are going to work evenings and weekends, but how is that going to.

How is that going to translate into women being able to have the consultant that they choose?

How is it going to translate into appointments running on time?

How is it going to translate into feeling like you're being heard?

Because that's a big difference in when women are surveyed.

You know, I think all of us have examples of friends who've had brilliant care in the public system.

Brilliant care in the private system.

And then we've all had friends who've had terrible care in the public system and terrible care in the private system.

You know, we all, and even some women have examples themselves where they get great care on one baby and then, you know, they don't experience on the next baby, you know, so.
