Help LONG POST

My midwife has gone on maternity leave, (my last appointment with her was for my 34 week midwife appointment. However I now don't have a set midwife, and I'm really struggling. I'm in a lot of pain with my back, boobs, pelvis and my bump is really sore to touch. I have no idea who to talk to because like I said I don't have a set midwife now. Also when it was my 34 week scan, when it was time to have the consultation after they talked about my previous miscarriage (we lost our little boy in December of 2022, and only got his autopsy results back then) so instead of talking about my baby now we talked about my previous loss. I have no idea what I'm doing but all I know is I've got 18 days till my due date and I'm in extreme agony.

Please help me 😭😭😭😭

Call your triage? Sorry to hear about your miscarriage last year it must be really hard to talk about.

I'm gunna have to phone someone because it's leaving me in tears, and it's really hard to talk about especially when I went into that consultation in a really good mood, and thought I could talk about my babygirl instead of getting ambushed with the autopsy results despite me and my partner both saying we didn't wanna know, my partner has said to report them after I've had our daughter because it's not fair xx

Call the midwifery hub they should have another midwife taking on your previous midwife’s caseload!

yes soemthing should be written in your notes that they aren’t allowed to talk about your past unless you bring it up yourself specifically. Not fair for you to be left upset after every appointment

I’m regards to pain please make sure to call up your triage or local gp and push and push until someone sees you. Health and well-being cokes first

bless you sweetheart, I wouldn’t wish what you’ve went through upon anyone. I hope a phone call can give you a little reassurance and help that you must need right now. If you ever want to give someone a message, my messages are always here and open x
