First call to triage

If you still do not feel reassured

You are allowed to call again. You are allowed to ask for the advice to be repeated, explained or escalated. You do not need to wait if something feels wrong.

Your birth partner could say

I understand it may be early labour, but she is in severe distress and we do not feel safe or reassured managing this at home. Please can we come in for assessment or speak to the senior midwife?

If things are changing quickly

We are worried this is progressing quickly. Please can you explain what would mean we should come in now, and what we should do if things change before then?
