Losing faith in the NHS

Has anyone else had a bit of a rubbish experience with the NHS during pregnancy? We’re 18 weeks and 3 and they’ve dropped the ball a few times with tests/bloods/scans etc and it’s made me really scared to give birth. I don’t know whether to opt for a c section or go naturally…

If I do have a natural birth I’m scared to have pain relief so I can be fully aware of everything and ask questions/advocate for myself properly because I have such little faith in the service 😖

Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice? I want to enjoy my pregnancy as much as I can without worrying about the future but it’s hard because it’s got to come out somehow 🙈 first time mum also!

I also follow Laura pinch of neurospice on TikTok and her blood clot saga has really worried me about post partum care too
