Midwife unresponsive

Anyone else having issues with their midwife? I’ve phoned a few times and always get the answering machine, I leave a message and no one ever gets back to me. No idea what to do?

It's an answering machine at mine as well (annoying because with my first pregnancy, under a different MW team there was always someone there to pick up a phone). You could always call the hospital if you're not getting through to the midwife! Xx

Is there a central line you can call? There should always be a duty midwife around to answer those calls or texts. I wouldn't really expect a specific midwife to be able to get back to me in between appointments - they've got so many people on their list.

@Caroline this is the central line, I’ve text my midwife directly too but get no response there either so it’s pointless. The central line is the voicemail machine and no one gets back to me

Oh that's really bad then! Is there another line you could try? Or just the hospital one?

There should be a team of midwives for your area whose list of numbers you get given at your first appointment along with Badger Notes login details etc. When you don’t get through to your own midwife, they’re happy to help. If not, hospital antenatal triage team is the safest option as they’re answered by helpful midwives 🫶🏻
