❓ What happens after a trip to maternity triage?

Triage decides urgency; discharge does not mean concerns should be ignored.

The 3 possible scenarios

  1. 1. What to prepare

    Bring pregnancy records and explain symptoms, onset, movements and medicines. Tell staff immediately if symptoms worsen while waiting.

  2. 2. What to check

    Before discharge, ask what was found, what follow-up is needed and exactly when and where to return. Return for new or persistent warning signs.

  3. 3. In Singapore

    For a life-threatening medical emergency call 995 for a medical emergency. Give your location and follow dispatcher instructions.

  4. 4. In Singapore

    Confirm the maternity hospital’s assessment route and after-hours number. Arrange newborn follow-up with the hospital, polyclinic or GP, including jaundice review when directed. Public subsidies and MediSave arrangements have eligibility rules; check charges and referral requirements.
