I am 27 weeks pregnant and my gp has written to children's services alerting him to concerns around my health and the possibility of me having munchausens syndrome although he states there is no confirmed diagnosis. This has caused childrens services to instigate child protection enquiries. They are asking to access my medical records to do a health chronology which will be kept on my child's file. This seems really invasive that all this info on me will be kept by the. I am really worried they are looking to take my child away when it is born.
A bit about me:
I have some health probelms which do not have a confirmed diagnosis:
1.Asthma, this has been diagnosed but i have been accussed of inflating the symptoms. Unfortunatley about 16 years ago someone told me that if i put blue ink on my fingers i would be seen quicker at hospital when my asthma was bad. This was a stupid thing to do and i can't beleive i did it.
2. diabetes. About 13 years ago I was in hospital being investiagted for a loss of sensation in my legs they tested my blood sugar and it was high but a blood test was normal and i was accussed of interfering with the equipment,which i didn't do.
3.I had a blood infection 14 years ago and lost feeling in my arms and legs, this came back but i was left with chronic pain and sensation loss. i was sent to kings hospital about 3 months later but they found nothing wrong in tests so i was sent to see a two different psychiatrists. i spoke to him openly and was advised i didn't need to see them again and i got on with my life.
4.2 years ago i had a leg wound which wouldn't heal.Loads of wounds broke out on my body and i was diagnosed with an immune problem. The treatemnt didn't work as well as they had hoped and i got a bad infection, which i believe was due to poor hand hygeine from the nurses but when i made a complaint i was accused of making the wounds worse and cutting myself with scissors. When i was released from hospital i was summoned by my gp and asked to see a psychitrist i had just got my lifeback on track and felt i had been down this line before.
Anyway for two years my life has been fine until i got pregannt and now i have childrens services wanting me to sign for them to read all my notes to document my medical history with a view to imposing actions/restrictions on me or stopping me from caring for my child. i have come here in desperation for some sort of support or guidance as i feel really upset and hurt at the moment and can see no way out of it.if i let them access my notes it is a subjective opinion and i feel they are looking to gather evidence. if i tell them no they can go to court( I believe) and i am seen to be hiding something.
