For any other anxious mamas ✨

Just wanted to share - bit of a scary morning as reduced movements (25+1) and although I’m fully aware patterns aren’t particularly set at this time, I was fully spiralling with worry… Got onto triage at our hospital - Whiston - and was being listened to within 2 minutes of arriving, being talked through every step and what they were listening for. Felt really supported and reassured, but I’ll admit it took me some time to feel like I could call triage! Like questioning is it too soon, am I really not feeling anything etc. I guess the spirit of the story is to say: ring! Trust your gut and do whatever is best for you and your baby. Midwife teams are there to help and support, even if it’s just for a reassuring chat when you’re feeling a bit anxious and want to talk through worrying symptoms or activities ✨

Is everything ok with baby?

@Georgia yes, thank you for asking! Just being a little bugger and taking a rest - heartbeat was nice and strong 💙

Very glad to hear it 🤍

Within 2 mins of arriving! That’s amazing! Glad everything is okay, I agree always better to get checked out for reassurance x I went in to my hospital triage on Friday for reduced minutes and had to wait 2 hours, went again yesterday for a growth scan appt just to make sure everything okay and was there waiting for 4 hours between scan & scan review (which took 4mins tops) 😭 so super jealous of your 2min wait time 😂 xx

@Lauren oh no way! That’s ridiculous! Especially for a scan appointment when it’s pre booked; understand triage is a bit more dependent on other activities but scan appointments should really be a set wait 🫠
