If you are worried

If you're worried about a change in your health or your baby's movements, get advice from a health professional

Don't worry about wasting anyone's time or appearing overanxious – midwives and doctors would much rather check whether everything is okay than miss a problem. The labour ward of every maternity unit has someone available 24/7 to take your call

 

If you're worried about a change

  • Speak to your midwife or doctor
  • If you can't get hold of someone, call your nearest maternity unit –  if you're at home, the number should be in your maternity notes, otherwise search online
  • Don't worry that they might be busy – they will have someone available to take your call 24/7
