So im in my last year of college, I have a lot of prior health conditions including asthma, fainting disorders and arrhythmia, and of course pregnancy weakens your immume system due to this I have had the flu once and super cold 3 times since the start of september (its ridiculous). Oh and the fact i am high risk for preeclampsia and ges diabetes, both of which im already showing possible indicators/symptoms of at 15 weeks preggo. I go to a top college producing loads of oxbridge students and A and A* students, so they only want the best students and when i told them i was pregnant they promised to support me, my teachers kept that side of the bargain, higher ups did not, due to illness ive missed 50% since september (and im still doing better than some on 100%) but they want to kick me out as they fear i wont achieve my predicted As and bring down the college's average, ive told them since the start all the issues and have been verified by my mum. Can they legally throw me out of college due to my attendance, even though it is caused by pregnancy, also my I add this women who is higher up broke confidentiality and has not treated me fairly since the start and just as an inconvenience even though her place as director of student support.

OP emergency appointments should show on your badger app under the antenatal care section - I attended triage at 2am at 22 weeks and it's on there so I would expect yours to be.

@mummyh2016 oh don’t get me started with triage Confused their number was the only one I was given and since week 10 was told that was the number to call if I had any issues, this is because I didn’t see my actual midwife for booking at 11 weeks as she was busy so I never got her number, and last week I lost about 50% of my central vision for about an hour, and considering blurred and spotty vision is on the list to call straight away and it was the weekend so my gp was shut and didn’t offer online care, so I thought to call and got a response of ‘we are busy delivering babies not worrying about your eyesight’ she must’ve been having a bad day xD but I was then told that this number I was given is not to be rung until 20 weeks, I was very confused, so now I’ve had to wait two weeks until my next midwife appointment to note my issues

@kElise1 yea to be fair you don't have access to ours until 16 weeks.

@mummyh2016 it definitely makes sense, I was just shocked on the phone and was like errrr this is the number I was told to xD so at my next appointment I’ll make sure I get the correct one as I sure did feel awkward

@TeenMummyToBe I think until you're 16/20 weeks (whatever the rule is at your trust) you need to go to your GP or A+E which is annoying! My friend had HG, she couldn't even keep water down and was severely dehydrated. Her GP called the maternity unit and although they were apologetic they couldn't do anything until she turned 16 weeks and instead she had to present at A+E where she was then put on a drip.
