Things seem to have changed quite a lot since I had my last child 8 years ago.
I'm 19 weeks and have had back pain and lower abdominal pain since yesterday lunch time. I've taken paracetamol and tried to rest to see if it eased. Been up most of the night and it still the same this morning. The only numbers in my maternity folder are for the hospital so I called them for advice to be told that I should go to a&e to been seen.
I then called my doctors to see if I could have the community midwife number to call her and see if she could reassure me but was told they no longer provide it and all contact goes through the hospital.
I was just wondering if this is the same in other areas? Seems very dramatic to go to a&e and I feel a bit daft. I assumed there would be someway for me to see a midwife rather than take up resources in a&e.
