My sister is 39 weeks pregnant. For 3 days she has barely eaten, has a severe sore tummy, reduced baby movements and is sicking up blood. 2 calls made to triage and both times told to go to A&E, walk in centre or doctor (Last time she colapsed she spent 4 hours waiting in A&E).
I myself recently had a baby in barnet hospital London and triage always saw me when I had pregnancy issues (never set foot in A&E) I understand staff shortages as this is a problem thoughout the whole UK, however, they seem not to care. Midwives have not even discussed her birthing options. I have recently moved back to Colchester after spending 4 years in London and I will drive and go to another hospital rather than have my baby here. I feel like the service is appaling
