Has anyone else had difficulty in getting an assessment at an early pregnancy unit ?

Are you based in London? because there’s a few walk ins in South London that you can go to

Ours is self referral so not had this problem.
Sorry you have it sounds horrible!
As hard as it is when your panicking all you can do is wait and trust GP will refer you in as agreed.
If it’s an emergency it would be a&e but otherwise EPU offer routine bloods or a scan. Hopefully they’ve gone through the red flags with you?
I’ve had bleeding in my pregnancy this time and can appreciate how hard the uncertainty is and how nhs professionals can sadly be insensitive at times x

I was also bleeding and frustratingly had to first go see my gp, explain my symptoms again and answer a bunch of questions and then wait until the afternoon to go see the emergency maternity ward for a scan. Luckily everything turned out fine but yeah it’s really frustrating. I think you’re only option would be to wait and see what your gp says or go to A&E.

Yeah EPAS in Scotland is absolutely shocking. When I had my first miscarriage the closest appointment they could give me was 2 weeks away. I asked to come in for assessment they said no and to go to A&E if the bleeding got so bad I felt I was going to pass out but not to come to early pregnancy unit cause they’d turn me away. Went to my GP but they refuse to see you for maternity issues like that because there is EPAS so I just sat at home with no clue what to do. With this pregnancy I needed an early scan due to HG, I had to wait 10 days for that. They also completely refused to see me for my sickness and vomitting despite it being and EPAS issue and told me to go to my GP (I’d already been to GP and they couldn’t do anything else) so they basically said my options were GP or A&E but don’t go there cause again, they’d turn me away. This is in a big city in Glasgow, I know from working at 111 previously as a nurse that not all EPAS work like that, but some are absolutely shocking.
