Midwife help!
I’ve been assigned a midwife (who I’ve never met and I’m 24 weeks now) but she seems to never respond? I’ve been calling and messaging multiple times for a few weeks now for things I need help with like my MATB1 form and some other things that I want to be ready for as I get further into the pregnancy. I don’t have any other contact numbers to speak to someone else about these things except for triage which is for emergencies and my midwife appointments are always spaced out so I won’t be able to ask for another couple weeks- generally it’s just really bad communication outside of hospital appts/scans. Anyone else have this issue or if anyone can advise what to do please?

Have you tried your GP? I think they can provide a MATB?
Is it your first baby? If so you should be having your 25 week appointment soon so can maybe discuss then? For MatB1 raise it with your GP and they should be able to help
I got my MATB1 for this pregnancy and my last at my 25 week midwife appointment x
I would just save your questions for your appointments. You should have one at 25/26 weeks and then again 28 weeks. You should have got your matb1 at your 20 week scan. Contact your gp and they should help. Could always ask her at your next appointment what the best way of communicating with her is.

I’ve never met my midwife. I would just wait for the next midwife appointment to ask all the questions. They are very busy and short staffed so unless it’s urgent it’s best to wait. They normally go through everything at the appointments anyway so unless urgent should be fine to wait
