And I've not been seen. I'm up for reduced movement (9 all day) and I don't know whether to mention to the midwifes that we've been sitting for so long or to wait a while longer. I don't want to be cheeky but I'm concerned for the wee one. Any ideas?

They may be busy. Definitely go and ask when you'll be seen.

Is there a reception type desk? They may be just busy but you should be seen asap and have heartbeat monitored etc.

If there is a desk I would remind them you are there and say you are concerned.

I would go ask whats happening now. Are u in a waiting room or have u been put on the monitor yet? As a sister midwife myself i say go tell them now. Best of luck xxx

I really don't want to bother them, I'm sure they'll just be busy. But then, what if they've forgotten about me? And it's so hot in the waiting room that I feel like I might pass out.

I've not been seen at all by anyone. Thanks for the advice, I'll just go and say.

Our triage has signs up saying waits could be 2-3 hours and would be prioritised due to clinical urgency. I guess the problem is you don't know what other problems patients have got tonight. I hope all is ok for you x

Oh Daley, I'm sorry to hear this. Please do ask. Fingers crossed for you and your baby..x

I would have asked after 30 mins! You don't have to be rude or pushy, just say that you know they are busy, but was just wondering how long it would be until you get seen as you are quite worried....
