I got to triage and was sat waiting for 3.5 hours. I was told to come due to reduced movements and pain after losing my mucus plug. I wasn’t even acknowledged or reassured in this time until handover.
I was getting quite frustrated and I was so close to just getting up and leaving, not knowing there was a possibility that I was in labour, until I was put on the monitor and was having contractions, which then led to an examination to confirm I wasn’t in labour.
I cannot fault the midwife Zoe who took good care of me at handover, she was amazing with me and I can’t thank her enough. She went above and beyond for me.
