Morning all, I had my 20 weeks scan on Tuesday and was told that I should have been assigned a midwife by now.
My contact details are correct with the hospital and was told I should get a call this week but I still haven’t heard anything.
Should I be worried or concerned ?

I wouldn’t be concerned maybe ring your doctors or local maternity unit x

Ring your doctors x

I think you should have midwife appointment at the beggining of pregnancy. Iff i were you i would not wait . Call them every day untill they will assigne you a midwife. Is not fair iff you have any questions midwife will help. 🙏

I have a midwife but she never gave me her contact number lol
So whenever I have concerns I have no one to ask nd she doesn’t even see me until 3 months later

You definitely should’ve seen a midwife by now. I would contact your GP surgery and keep chasing x

Depends on the hospital. I’m with UCLH in London and never see the same midwife/don’t have an assigned one or a direct contact. I’m 23w and it’s just gonna be this way until birth! If people have issues they just call the general emergency maternity line and that’s it, someone will pick up.

it is just really different
In my first pregnancy my midwife was so amazing
She attended to all my concerns
There are days I am in so much pain I call the triage they say call ur midwife
Days I my brain hurt
So many things but I have no one to ask. I call the gp they never have appointment 🤦🏽♀️so it is just amazing how they work now

Happened to me and it’s just sloppy and careless. I called my gp about it and they lined one up for me and now I get have them stacked up from the ones I’ve missed

Thats crazy how you haven't been seen yet! 😲 you should of had an app anytime from around 8 weeks to take blood/urine sample & you're history then again at 16 weeks. Deffo phone you're docs on Monday they will have a community midwife that comes in weekly x

Thank you all! I will phone tomorrow and try and get this sorted ! 💛
