Contacting brierley midwives

[goldilocks]

Does anyone who is / was with Brierley know how I should contact them if I have a question? Ie do I page or is that just for emergencies in which case should I call the office. Just need to speak to a midwife tomorrow so not sure of the right approach. To be fair I think my midwife has been through how to get in touch, I'm just incapable of retaining info.

Thanks

I was with the Brierley, and like you was always a bit fearful of using the pager, but I did towards the end and its good to get used to the system before you need to use it in labour!

You could alternatively try calling the office from about 9am tomorrow - they start between then and 9.30 - sometimes they are there but don't pick up the phone but leave a message and someone will get back to you. I'd do that and if you've not spoken to anyone by mid-morning use the pager system.

Thx that's fab. Am probs being neurotic but do need to speak to a midwife tmrw so will go for the answerphone in the first instance. Will check what I should have done at my next appt.

Hope you got hold of them Goldilocks. I always left messages on the office number, and only used the pager when I was in labour, but I think you can use it at other times, you just don't say in the 'in Labour, Urgent' bit when you leave the message!

Thanks everyone, left a message and got a message back telling me to page. Felt odd in a non emergency but got called back and everything fine. Thanks again
