It is really important that you contact the Maternity Assessment Unit (MAU) if you have concerns about your own health, or your baby’s. For example:

you have bleeding from your vagina or leaking fluid (clear or any colour)
your baby’s movements have slowed down, stopped or changed
you have a headache, problems with your vision, pain just below your ribs, vomiting or sudden swelling of your face, hands or feet
you have severe itching or a rash, particularly one affecting your hands and feet; or if the whites of your eyes and your skin is yellow
you have pain in your tummy, or you are having contractions or tightenings
you feel unsafe at any time
trust your instincts; if in doubt, get checked out!
voice your concerns
ensure your concerns are heard.

Call the Maternity Assessment Unit on 01782 672300. The MAU is open 24/7
