Kicked in stomach

So i’ve been kicked in the stomach today at work, although it wasn’t extremely hard i’m getting cramps and it’s sent me into a panic.
I can’t find a way of contacting my community midwife and don’t know what to do.
Any advice?? Do I have to wait until tomorrow to get in contact with someone?

Go to the emergency room or call the maternity ward emergency phone in your hospital, they should be able to see you tonight

it says that triage is only available for people over 16 weeks

i’m 13 weeks

I called mine before 16 weeks although I knew I wasn't supposed to, they were very helpful.. if you've got the number then give it a try, you have nothing to loose.. If they can't help, go A&E x

There should also be an early pregnancy 24/7 number you can ring I'd ring the maternity help line and they will be able to give the right number if you don't have it

You should have been given a number for the 24hr helpline, a number for before 20 weeks and a number for after 20 weeks

Thank you everyone

In my area triage is just for over 16 weeks and there is no 'EPU' so before 16 weeks you'd call GP or 111 if its out of hours x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
