Midwifery 101
What to worry about and how to
help when presented with complex
pregnant women in your practice
Pregnancy Testing
Should be routinely offered to all women of
childbearing age who are sexually active…
Red flags:
• Lack of periods or unsure of last period
• Nausea and/or vomiting
• Abdominal pain or swelling
• Fetal movements
History
The UK has a statutory system of reporting for maternal deaths where causes
& care are investigated and lessons learned.
• CEMD (England & Wales only) 1952 – 1985
• CEMD (UK wide) 1985 - 1999
• CEMACH 2000 – 2008
• CEMACE 2009-2010
• MBRRACE 2010 onwards (2014 & 2015 Saving Lives Improving Mothers
Care reports are the factual basis of this presentation)
https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk/reports
Despite a rising birth rate direct maternal deaths (from obstetric causes) have
halved since 1985.
However indirect deaths (from other causes) have doubled, ¾ of women who
died 2009-12 had pre-existing medical conditions.
What kills mothers?
1. Heart conditions
2. Infection (sepsis)
3. Blood clots (thrombosis)
4. Neurological conditions (e.g. epilepsy)
5. Other indirect physical causes (e.g. medical conditions)
6. Suicide & drug overdose
7. Haemorrhage
8. Amniotic fluid embolism
9. Pre-eclampsia
(direct obstetric causes)
Other people (e.g. violent partners)
Social complexity is a co-factor in many maternal deaths
Background
• Suicide is currently the 6th biggest cause of
maternal deaths in the UK
• In pregnant and postnatal women sudden onset
and extremely rapid deterioration are
characteristic of mental health symptoms
• Specialist perinatal mental health teams should
be involved – BUT provision is not yet universal
and waiting times can be long
Suicide & Substance Misuse
2009 -2014….
101 pregnant/postnatal women died by suicide
14 of these also had substance misuse issues
83% used violent means
58 died directly of substance misuse related causes
– postnatal & postremoval periods increase risk
Red Flags
• Recent and/or rapid change in mental state
• New thoughts or acts of violent self-harm
• New/persistent feelings of inadequacy as a
mother or estrangement from baby
• Loss/threat of loss of a baby (including care
proceedings)
• Pervasive feelings of guilt or hopelessness
• Evidence of psychosis
Actions
• Urgent referral to A&E for assessment by on-call
psychiatrist, ambulance transport is required
• Refer to maternity services, state concerns &
request involvement of perinatal mental health
team
• Notify named midwife for safeguarding at referral
hospital, request Pan-London alert if appropriate
Domestic Violence
Pregnancy is not protective against abuse
• 1/3 of women are hit for the 1st time when
pregnant
• 36 women murdered in the extended
perinatal period 2009-13, 13 babies also died
in-utero
• 31 women killed by partners, 2 by family
members & 3 by strangers
Domestic Violence
• All women should be routinely asked about
violence in their relationships
• If suspected or disclosed offer contact with
SOLACE 0808 802 5565; Women and Girls
Network 0808 801 0660 or local alternative
• Inform GP (if woman has one)
• Discuss with named midwife for safeguarding
• Consider social services referral/update
Access to Maternity Services
Traditional pathway is referral via GP and booking
appointment sent out to home address
ASSUMES GP & PERMANENT ADDRESS
1. Self referral via maternity services website
2. Notify named midwife for safeguarding
3. Obstetric triage for same day assessment
4. 999 to A&E or labour ward for urgent review
5. Supervisor of Midwives on-call for advice
Self-referral Forms
Maternity Services Website @ chosen hospital e.g UCL
http://www.uclh.nhs.uk/OurServices/ServiceA-Z/WH/MAT/Pages/Home.aspx
How to refer:
http://www.uclh.nhs.uk/OurServices/ServiceA-Z/WH/MAT/Pages/refer.aspx
Self-referral form
http://www.uclh.nhs.uk/HP/Howtorefer/Specialist%20referral%20forms/Ante
natal%20self%20referral%20form%20(pdf).pdf
Named Midwife for Safeguarding:
Contact via switchboard & discuss directly
Establishing contact
Maternity services will need to contact the woman – this
is problematic where women are homeless or transient
and can act as a barrier to delivering care.
RISK OF FALLING THROUGH THE SAFETY NET
• Mobile phones – ideally her own (state clearly if using
someone else’s)
• Care of addresses e.g. your clinic / hostel / daycentre
• Outreach workers contact details
• Known areas frequented
Do’s
• Refer to Maternity Services & encourage engagement
• Notify Named Midwife for Safeguarding
• Get contact details or offer c/o address for correspondence
• Ensure woman knows she can present at any obstetric triage unit (daytimes) or
labour ward/A&E (24hrs)
• Ask roughly how many months pregnant (or LMP if known)
• Ask about current health concerns
• Ask about pre-existing medical conditions
• Ask about previous pregnancies & whereabouts of any children
• Ask about violence, substance misuse, emotional wellbeing & housing
• Ask if baby is moving (16-24wks) or moving normally (28+ wks)
• Give flu vaccine (in season)
• Send in to hospital for further assessment if you are concerned - use ambulance if
you feel it is urgent
• Contact the Supervisor of Midwives on-call for advice & help if you need it – every
hospital has a 24hr on-call SOM who is usually an experienced midwife with a
remit to protect the public
Don’ts
• Listen to the fetal heart
• Touch the abdomen
• Take bloods
• Perform any clinical work outside your sphere of practice
• Miss the opportunity to make a referral to Maternity
Services – they then have a responsibility to follow up
• Worry about sharing information if you feel the baby could
be at risk e.g Safeguarding Midwife / Social Services
• Hesitate to call an ambulance if you feel she needs urgent
medical review – its better to be safe than sorry & pregnant
women can compensate really well before deteriorating
rapidly.
Future Hopes
• Pan – London assertive outreach team able to work
across NHS Trusts geographical areas to find, engage
with & offer antenatal care to homeless pregnant
women
• More specialist midwife roles offering expert maternity
care tailored to meet specific needs of vulnerable client
groups
• National centralised system for reporting vulnerable
pregnant women with safeguarding concerns and
issuing alerts on appropriate scale
Your Cases - Discussion
• Emily Nygaard – Named Midwife for Safeguarding at
University College London
• Caroline Boxall – Substance Misuse Midwife at Kings
College Hospital
• Memuna Sowe – Specialist Midwife for Homeless &
Vulnerable Women at Croydon University Hospital
• Sue Byrne – Supervisor of Midwives & Team Leader for
High Risk Women at Kings College Hospital
• Morag Forbes – Family Nurse working with Young
Women in Lewisham
• Corinne Clarkson – Specialist Midwife for Migrant
Women at Kings College Hospital

Midwifery 101 by Corrine Clarkson and Morag Forbes

  • 1. Midwifery 101 What to worry about and how to help when presented with complex pregnant women in your practice
  • 2. Pregnancy Testing Should be routinely offered to all women of childbearing age who are sexually active… Red flags: • Lack of periods or unsure of last period • Nausea and/or vomiting • Abdominal pain or swelling • Fetal movements
  • 3. History The UK has a statutory system of reporting for maternal deaths where causes & care are investigated and lessons learned. • CEMD (England & Wales only) 1952 – 1985 • CEMD (UK wide) 1985 - 1999 • CEMACH 2000 – 2008 • CEMACE 2009-2010 • MBRRACE 2010 onwards (2014 & 2015 Saving Lives Improving Mothers Care reports are the factual basis of this presentation) https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk/reports Despite a rising birth rate direct maternal deaths (from obstetric causes) have halved since 1985. However indirect deaths (from other causes) have doubled, ¾ of women who died 2009-12 had pre-existing medical conditions.
  • 4. What kills mothers? 1. Heart conditions 2. Infection (sepsis) 3. Blood clots (thrombosis) 4. Neurological conditions (e.g. epilepsy) 5. Other indirect physical causes (e.g. medical conditions) 6. Suicide & drug overdose 7. Haemorrhage 8. Amniotic fluid embolism 9. Pre-eclampsia (direct obstetric causes) Other people (e.g. violent partners) Social complexity is a co-factor in many maternal deaths
  • 5. Background • Suicide is currently the 6th biggest cause of maternal deaths in the UK • In pregnant and postnatal women sudden onset and extremely rapid deterioration are characteristic of mental health symptoms • Specialist perinatal mental health teams should be involved – BUT provision is not yet universal and waiting times can be long
  • 6. Suicide & Substance Misuse 2009 -2014…. 101 pregnant/postnatal women died by suicide 14 of these also had substance misuse issues 83% used violent means 58 died directly of substance misuse related causes – postnatal & postremoval periods increase risk
  • 7. Red Flags • Recent and/or rapid change in mental state • New thoughts or acts of violent self-harm • New/persistent feelings of inadequacy as a mother or estrangement from baby • Loss/threat of loss of a baby (including care proceedings) • Pervasive feelings of guilt or hopelessness • Evidence of psychosis
  • 8. Actions • Urgent referral to A&E for assessment by on-call psychiatrist, ambulance transport is required • Refer to maternity services, state concerns & request involvement of perinatal mental health team • Notify named midwife for safeguarding at referral hospital, request Pan-London alert if appropriate
  • 9. Domestic Violence Pregnancy is not protective against abuse • 1/3 of women are hit for the 1st time when pregnant • 36 women murdered in the extended perinatal period 2009-13, 13 babies also died in-utero • 31 women killed by partners, 2 by family members & 3 by strangers
  • 10. Domestic Violence • All women should be routinely asked about violence in their relationships • If suspected or disclosed offer contact with SOLACE 0808 802 5565; Women and Girls Network 0808 801 0660 or local alternative • Inform GP (if woman has one) • Discuss with named midwife for safeguarding • Consider social services referral/update
  • 11. Access to Maternity Services Traditional pathway is referral via GP and booking appointment sent out to home address ASSUMES GP & PERMANENT ADDRESS 1. Self referral via maternity services website 2. Notify named midwife for safeguarding 3. Obstetric triage for same day assessment 4. 999 to A&E or labour ward for urgent review 5. Supervisor of Midwives on-call for advice
  • 12. Self-referral Forms Maternity Services Website @ chosen hospital e.g UCL http://www.uclh.nhs.uk/OurServices/ServiceA-Z/WH/MAT/Pages/Home.aspx How to refer: http://www.uclh.nhs.uk/OurServices/ServiceA-Z/WH/MAT/Pages/refer.aspx Self-referral form http://www.uclh.nhs.uk/HP/Howtorefer/Specialist%20referral%20forms/Ante natal%20self%20referral%20form%20(pdf).pdf Named Midwife for Safeguarding: Contact via switchboard & discuss directly
  • 13. Establishing contact Maternity services will need to contact the woman – this is problematic where women are homeless or transient and can act as a barrier to delivering care. RISK OF FALLING THROUGH THE SAFETY NET • Mobile phones – ideally her own (state clearly if using someone else’s) • Care of addresses e.g. your clinic / hostel / daycentre • Outreach workers contact details • Known areas frequented
  • 14. Do’s • Refer to Maternity Services & encourage engagement • Notify Named Midwife for Safeguarding • Get contact details or offer c/o address for correspondence • Ensure woman knows she can present at any obstetric triage unit (daytimes) or labour ward/A&E (24hrs) • Ask roughly how many months pregnant (or LMP if known) • Ask about current health concerns • Ask about pre-existing medical conditions • Ask about previous pregnancies & whereabouts of any children • Ask about violence, substance misuse, emotional wellbeing & housing • Ask if baby is moving (16-24wks) or moving normally (28+ wks) • Give flu vaccine (in season) • Send in to hospital for further assessment if you are concerned - use ambulance if you feel it is urgent • Contact the Supervisor of Midwives on-call for advice & help if you need it – every hospital has a 24hr on-call SOM who is usually an experienced midwife with a remit to protect the public
  • 15. Don’ts • Listen to the fetal heart • Touch the abdomen • Take bloods • Perform any clinical work outside your sphere of practice • Miss the opportunity to make a referral to Maternity Services – they then have a responsibility to follow up • Worry about sharing information if you feel the baby could be at risk e.g Safeguarding Midwife / Social Services • Hesitate to call an ambulance if you feel she needs urgent medical review – its better to be safe than sorry & pregnant women can compensate really well before deteriorating rapidly.
  • 16. Future Hopes • Pan – London assertive outreach team able to work across NHS Trusts geographical areas to find, engage with & offer antenatal care to homeless pregnant women • More specialist midwife roles offering expert maternity care tailored to meet specific needs of vulnerable client groups • National centralised system for reporting vulnerable pregnant women with safeguarding concerns and issuing alerts on appropriate scale
  • 17. Your Cases - Discussion • Emily Nygaard – Named Midwife for Safeguarding at University College London • Caroline Boxall – Substance Misuse Midwife at Kings College Hospital • Memuna Sowe – Specialist Midwife for Homeless & Vulnerable Women at Croydon University Hospital • Sue Byrne – Supervisor of Midwives & Team Leader for High Risk Women at Kings College Hospital • Morag Forbes – Family Nurse working with Young Women in Lewisham • Corinne Clarkson – Specialist Midwife for Migrant Women at Kings College Hospital
