Midwife visit post-birth - anyone know what happens when they don't show up...?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,


Hoping someone might know...

1 week post-birth and was due our 3rd midwife visit today (Kings, East Team). Requested afternoon as we were busy this morning.

I've waited in all afternoon and no visit (hours are til 5pm and it's now 5.20pm)

I've not heard anything. Called and left a message but know that's unlikely to be picked up til Tues (Bank Hol on Mon)

So what now? Could someone still show today? (Not sure if they have to see everyone on their list even if late) or will someone just show up Tuesday?? Info I have doesn't mention what will happen with a no show.

The same thing happened to me and I had slipped off the radar somehow. I waited all weekend till Monday wondering if anyone would turn up. In the end I had to ring them,they were very apologetic! I would ring every number you have got. Particularly if you are worried about anything. Midwives work all the time. Someone will come and see you. Best of luck. X

Hi all,


Thanks for the replies. They called me Saturday morning and came out to me first. Apparently an admin error meant my name didn't get put in the right place on the Friday list. I did mention that there is no info given on what happens if you're forgotten. And apparently they work 365 days!

I had the helpline and other numbers if needed it was more a question of staying in (for nothing) and having no "active" way of contacting other than leaving a voicemail.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
