Changes to the maternity triage service and Early Pregnancy Unit
From tomorrow (Wednesday 1 May) the maternity triage service will be available for women and birthing people from 16 weeks of pregnancy up until 28 days after the birth of their baby and who have pregnancy related concerns.
This was previously only available for women and birthing people who were more than 22 weeks pregnant up until 14 days after the birth of their baby.
Our specialist team of midwives are on hand to provide expert care and offer advice 24 hours a day, seven days per week, both at the maternity triage unit and via the telephone helpline. We aim to see people within 15 minutes of arrival for an initial review and assessment. Read more about the maternity triage service >
It’s so important that women and birthing people with pregnancy related concerns such as abdominal pain, leaking of fluid, or changes in their baby’s movements, can seek the appropriate advice and follow up care as soon as possible.
Women and birthing people who are below 15 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy will be seen in our Early Pregnancy Unit. This was previously available for women and birthing people up until 22 weeks of pregnancy.
