I can't get hold of my midwife :(

[K8eee]

I accidentally missed my appointment nearly 2 weeks ago, and I can't get hold of my midwife. I've texted and tried calling but it just says the person I can trying to call isms temporarily unavailable any ideas what I can do?

How far on is your pregnancy? Do you have any worrying symptoms? You can see your GP for ante natal care if you have an emergency.

Have you phoned your GP surgery?

In my notes my midwife stuck a list of other midwifes numbers to call if she is not working, do you have something similar in your notes? Or your GP should have contact details.

In this area you see your midwife at the GP clinic, so you could try ringing your GP and they will fit you in the clinic if it's the same set up

I would ring your gp surgery, i can book via gp reception or direct with mw

Should be a community midwife office at the hospital or GP? She may be on leave.

my appointments are held in my local children's centre. I'll give them a call tomorrow. I've text the midwife I used to have when I had dd last year but no response

Ring the hospital and ask for the community midwife office or manager and ask what you need to do.

I see the midwives at my local children's centre and they are impossible to get through to on the phone. I wknder if we live in the same area?! It normally takes me a couple of weeks to get through and book my appointment but it's easier for me then going to hospital for appointments so I put up with it. I'd say keep trying leave a million messages and if your concerned about anything there should be a number on your notes for maternity assessment unit or triage everywhere calls it something different but there'll be a number you can phone!

Your notes should have a number for the community midwifery team? Give them a call x

You may see the midwife at sure start but they are usually only there once or twice a week. There should be a number or phone hospital switchboard and ask for the community midwife office. Mine are there from around 8-10 each morning before they all go off to their different patches but has an answer phone.

finally got hold of her! must have a day off on a Monday I think.
