Barely informed me

During Covid - they tried to make me have an induction when I went in for a 39 week scan (due to baby size). I flatly refused and was able to deliver the baby myself on my due date. They barely informed us about anything. E.G. Just 'we are breaking your waters' - no information to us about the infection risk etc. Now on my 2nd pregnancy - I have not seen the same midwife twice. I have any appointment today to look at my birth plan.
