At 7 weeks pregnant I had a little bit of a bleed and I'm sure you can appreciate we were very worried. I had already booked on for my booking appointment at 9 weeks and my scan at 12 weeks. I had received an information booklet in the post.
However no where in the booklet does it tell you what to do before having seen your midwife at 9/10 weeks.
Do I call my GP? Can I self refer? What's the phone number?
For me all was well. After a trip to early pregnancy unit at GRI the lovely staff checked me over and we were ok.
However the 12h previous to this was a mad panic of googling and phone number searching. I really feel communication is the key and a page in the booklet with information of what to do would have really helped and calmed me down. I'm sure I am not alone with this.
Just a thought from an anxious mum to be and NHS employee.
