📞 New Midwifery triage telephone number.

The new centralised midwifery triage telephone number will be available from 8am tomorrow (Wednesday 26 February).

If you are pregnant and have concerns or queries about yourself or your baby, please call 01623 676170. Your call will then be triaged appropriately by a triage midwife.

Please note this is not a new number it is the community advice line number on mama passports and BadgerNet. We are simply merging all lines to one number to make it easier and avoid confusion over which number to call. If the other numbers are called they will signpost callers to this number.

What is "Normal" in Pregnancy?

Your due date is an estimate, not a deadline.

Conception doesn't always happen on day 14 of your cycle as both ovulation days and conception can vary significantly.

Normal pregnancy lasts from 37 to 42 weeks, so if everything is reassuring you can choose to wait for your labour to start naturally.

"Overdue" doesn't always mean there's a problem.

Talk to your midwife about what's right for you

"It's just what we do" isn't good enough when it comes to membrane sweeping in pregnancy.

Many women and families ask about membrane sweeping, which is often presented as an alternative to induction of labour.

And yet it's not an alternative to induction.

It is a FORM of induction.

Because we see so many questions about this, I have updated my blog post on this topic.

Learn what the evidence really says about this common procedure.
