Emergency contact information
Call your midwife or maternity unit if:
Your waters break
You have vaginal bleeding
Your baby is moving less than usual
You’re less than 37 weeks pregnant and think you might be in labour
These signs mean you need to see a midwife or doctor.
Tell your midwife immediately if:
-
the waters are smelly or coloured
-
you're losing blood
This could mean you and your baby need urgent attention.
If your waters break before labour starts, call your midwife. Use a sanitary pad (not a tampon) so your midwife can check the colour of the waters.
