At the time I got them from my midwife because I couldn't find anything online..

@Dina thank you, unfortunately I haven't seen the same one midwife during this pregnancy yet and have no mobile number whenever I phone clacton they don't answer 🤣 I'll ask at my midwife appt next week just anxious I'm getting quite close (36 weeks!!) Would you say the tour was worth doing x

Lol, my pregnancy was the same, every appointment was a different midwife. For me it was helpful because I didn't have a clue how it works, so it helped me get an idea.

@Dina thank you x

Hi love! I’ve been trying to get it booked best to discuss during your midwife appointment. I’ve been told it’s usually done when it’s not as busy so around lunch break which is 12.30ish and half 4. I’m 37 weeks and I’ve been trying since 34 weeks. Worth trying to email the community midwives team about it as well and they will have someone to call you back

@Ria thank you!! Fingers crossed we both get somewhere xx

Ps good luck with your labour and delivery xx

I gave birth in November and was told they no longer do tours of the unit, and all videos and information are here instead! https://maternity.sneewellbeing.org.uk/whats-next/where-to-give-birth/colchester/

Just an update had my midwife appointment today and myself and my partner got a tour as it wasn’t as busy ☺️ best to ask during the appointment Goodluck xx

@Scarlet 🤍 thank you

@Ria thank you, unfortunately as I'm clacton my appts are at clacton hospital so I won't be able to do this, thanks
