Royal London Hospital maternity Triage

Has anyone had any experience at the RLH maternity triage (6th floor) and if so, what was your experience like?

On two occassions I have been there regarding concerns with my health during this pregnancy and have had an unpleasent experience from the staff on the front desk, seems to be always one in particular where they have been dismissive with the sort of attitude like "why are you here" "we can't help you with that here" It's made me anxious about having to ever go there again, if need be. 🫤

I wanted to go in a few days ago and now even more hesitant. Not heard great stuff about rlh midwifes which is scary

Before attending the hospital in my trust, you call the triage line and they tell you to come in or all is well... do you think you could be missing a step by just turning up? Obvs no idea really but could see how you might get that response if you surprised them...

No dear, i have'nt missed any steps. On both occassions, I was already at the hospital for other appointments and i told them what I was experiencing and they advised me to go downstairs to the 6 floor to speak to someone or get it checked. I live a bit of a distance from the hospital so i promise you i wouldn't just treck down there unless i was advised to & my issue was more about how they said what they said....🙂

Ah that must be so frustrating!!! Fingers crossed you get someone different on the desk next time!

I hope so too. 😩

Had a difficult experience too. Was 'forgotten' about and then the midwife drawing my blood was incredibly rough handed i cried! Didn't enjoy my experience when pregnant at RLH but the midwives throughout my birth and induction were amazing. Nurses were hit and miss during induction but I adored my midwife for my birth and the ones I had post birth were great too

So. Tired. 😭😭 [29 weeks]

First trimester was exhausting, then second trimester I've been doing well. Hired a trainer. Lifting weights twice a week and trying to walk 4-5 miles per day! Had some tired days but generally felt good and healthy. I'm at 29 weeks now and suddenly feel just freaking exhausted!!!

Just spent 3.5 hours staring at my phone at my desk and trying to get up to go home to take a nap.

I feel too tired to walk. What is happening!! I didn't expect this until ~34 weeks.

How am I going to do my job?? 😭😭
Just ranting mostly. But open to advice!! Anyone else exhausted?

Do babies movement pattern change around 36 weeks?

I’ve been running around all day today so haven’t notice movement much. I sat down for a bit around 3-4pm and felt baby move but baby seem quite quiet tonight! 🥴

Recover

I had an unplanned Csection last night and tips for recovering?

Sacral Chakra

If you want yoga to open your chakra connected to your sexuality focus on the sacral chakra. For women it’s energy located in the ovaries and for men it’s in the testies. When it’s closed you may feel less motivated to do things you love, low sex drive, or even bottling up feelings.
