Although it’s normal to have periods of worry and stress when you’re pregnant, some women have feelings that don’t go away and this can be a sign of something more serious https://www.tommys.org/pregnancy-information/im-pregnant/mental-wellbeing/mental-health-during-and-after-pregnancy
Please do not delay seeking advice. If you have any concerns about your baby’s movements, are unwell, or in pain or bleeding. Let us know when you call our maternity helpline if you or your household are self-isolating or have symptoms of fever or cough.
If you can't access the online 111 service then please give them a call. We understand that you will be worried about the impact of Coronavirus on your pregnancy and baby and want to assure you that we will keep you as safe as possible in this challenging situation.
We will strive to ensure that your pregnancy care is safe and in line with national guidance. However, we have had to change the way we deliver some care because pregnant women have been identified as a group more at risk of coronavirus. In view of this we want to reduce the chances of you being exposed to the virus when receiving care from us.
Please let us know in advance that you are self-isolating due to personal symptoms (high temperature and/or new continuous cough) or symptoms within your household. Your planned appointment/visit will be reviewed in terms of its urgency and either converted to a remote appointment (i.e. telephone) or deferred. Where an urgent face to face appointment is required and individualised plan will be put in place to facilitate this.
Phone or see your GP if you have any of the following:
- General feeling unwell
- Vaginal bleeding before 12 weeks of pregnancy
- Diarrhoea
- Vomiting
- Aches and pains if concerned
- Urine infection
- Any illness not associated with pregnancy
