Triage

Ladies, please tell me I’m not the only one who’s been to triage lots? Feel like an absolute idiot when I go and everything is ok but I’m terrified of something being wrong. I’ve always been honest with why I’m there and if after calling the movements started etc but I’ve had remarks about “oh you’ve been here a lot” I buried my infant son last February after telling the NHS for months something was wrong. This pregnancy was a complete surprise, a very amazing one but the pregnancy itself has been mentally hard and although I didn’t lose my son during childbirth now we are coming to the end of pregnancy the fear is amplifying even more but the unwanted comments from triage make me not want to call when I feel something is wrong.

You are doing the right thing. Do not worry about what other people say, it is better to go then to stay home at worrying and getting yourself in a state. Your not a pain or a nuisance that is your precious little someone, you’re nearly there now. ❤️

Just remember that you know your baby & their movements more than anyone! No matter if they're medical professionals or not. The NHS is there for us to use & you shouldn't be made to feel guilty about being concerned about your baby, especially when you've had an awful loss previously. You've got this Mama! ❤️

Your baby’s wellbeing vs someone you’ll probably never even see again thinking you’ve come in a lot- very clear choice :) They are all there to help us through this journey, if you need reassurance you need reassurance, don’t think too much into it. Wishing you the best ❤️

My hospital encourage us to contact them as many times as we need. They did explain that multiple spells of reduced movement is something they need to be aware of to be sure the right decisions are made for you and baby around birth (not sure of specifics here, it was just a passing comment the midwife made when I was in getting checked). My situation is so different to yours that I'd never compare, but my daughter was premature and I've been really anxious this pregnancy. I've always led with that when I've visited triage and they've been really kind. X

I’ve been a couple of times when I haven’t felt right and both times the nurses and doctors told me that if I feel like something isn’t quite right or I’m not happy with symptoms I’m experiencing, they would rather know and make sure I get checked. You are obviously going to be more cautious and sometimes people say things without thinking about how that might make you feel. Ultimately, if you aren’t happy with something, get it checked.
