Hi ladies, this isn't anything to do with weight etc but I'm browsing the board at the minute so thought I'd ask.
I've just had a phonecall from my daughter, who's 21 weeks pregnant. She's had a bit of bleeding today, and rang the doctor for advice. Doc spoke to midwife and told her 'anyone over 20 weeks needs to go to the delivery suite'.
Um ... what the hell? She's absolutely distraught now and doesn't know what to do. Doc didn't say anything else to her. Is this a normal response to a bit of bleeding at this stage?
Any advice would be much appreciated, I don't know what to tell her myself. I would have thought the doc would want to see her, not that she should go to the delivery suite! She says the bleeding has stopped so I've told her to just keep an eye on it, get plenty of rest and if she wants we'll go up to A + E tomorrow.
