I had reduced movements on sunday morning so i decided to call triage at wishaw general hospital.
I couldnt get through as it was constantly engaged which lead to me having to call another number and be out on hold for 28minutes till a midwife became available to talk to me.
I finally got to the hospital and was left waiting for an hour and a half as the midwifes were so busy i was finally taken into a room and then left for a further 20minutes.
I feel very anxious about giving birth here now as there just is not enough staff at all. Luckily for me all was fine with baby but it could have been a completely different story if i was left much longer or something serious was wrong.. luckily this wasn't the case but could be for other mothers to be.
I must add all the midwifes were lovely and done a great job but there stretched to the limits and something has to be done about this.
