❓ What happens after a trip to maternity triage?

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 South Africa

   For a life-threatening medical emergency call 112 from a mobile phone; 10177 for an ambulance. Give your location and follow dispatcher instructions.

4. 4. In South Africa

   Confirm your clinic or midwife obstetric unit, referral hospital, transport plan and after-hours contacts. Bring pregnancy records and your baby’s Road to Health booklet to visits; private medical-scheme arrangements and public referral pathways differ.
