When should I come to the maternity?

You should come to the maternity:

  • On the request of your doctor or midwife
  • When your uterine contractions become regular and intense
  • If you lose any fluids such as water, even in the absence of uterine contractions
  • If you have a fever
  • If you are bleeding
  • If you notice an unusual decrease in your baby’s movements
  • If you have not given birth by your due date
