Maternity Triage

This is a 24 hour emergency telephone and outpatient service for women who are 14 weeks pregnant and over. It is staffed by midwives and is located on level 7 of Ninewells Hospital (next to the antenatal clinic).

The triage midwives provide telephone advice to women experiencing problems relating to their pregnancy such as bleeding, feeling unwell, pain, blood pressure problems and baby not moving.

You would also call Ninewells Maternity Triage or your local Community Maternity Unit when you are in labour.

You may be asked to attend triage for review following the telephone consultation or given advice to see your GP, community midwife or self care at home.

You will be advised to telephone back if you have any more concerns, questions or if support is required.
