Daughter and I went to visit her friend who has just given birth a couple of weeks back. Gorgeous little baba. While we were chatting she received a text message from her midwife saying she needed to test the baby again as the Cystic fibrosis blood result was 'inconclusive' and could she call back to arrange a convenient time ASAP to retest.

I saw his mummy visibly pale and panic. What an utterly stupid midwife to leave such a message on a mobile. Some things are best said face to face with a little reassurance to new parents, of how these tests can give such a result. It hung around in the air while we were there with intermittent reassuring noises from me and my daughter but I was also worried.

Pah!

That's a very cold way of letting her know she needed more tests, hope everything worked out

Dear God that's awful,hope the baby is fine.Are they carriers of the cf gene?

This will become more and more common alas.Midwives and health visitors used to be experienced nurses who went on to specialise.Now u can qualify straight as them,i remember my health visitor student asking if my baby always made that noise when he fed.She had clearly never seen someone breastfeed!Now i am a breast feeding counsellor,so ignored her but if i had been a first time mum i could have worried i was doing something wrong.

WOW! Awesome bedside manner there or rather complete lack of it! I can't think of a worse way to approach that.

As a side note my carpet fitter turned up the other day but had forgot all his fittings.

A very tackless professional I thought!

One of my soothing noises was 'Im sure you'd have found out by now if you were both carriers of the CF gene' but in my heart I thought highly unlikely. Sometimes its a pain in the arse being old and experienced in life. Should know results by end of week.

Maybe the midwife thought that the patients already on her list needed seeing as a matter of importance, but that the message needed passing but she/he wasn't able to make a visit in good time. NHS staff are pretty busy these days and have to prioritise.

I totally agree re leaving a message - my daughter is a medic in nhs and I see her time scales first hand.. but midwife could have rang and said can you give me a ring to make an appointment without going into detail of why till they had the opportunity to speak. No new parents would ignore a midwife call would they?

I feel sure that if a midwife, or any other medic for that matter, uses SMS as a means of communication with a patient; that medic will have the patient's explicit permission to use that method.

The problem with texting is that it's not a guaranteed or immediate sender to recipient technology - which is why it can't (or at least ought not to) be used for emergency building evacuation etc.

Usually carriers will know and have been for genetic counselling.i have a genetic disorder and it is a well planned pathway.It's possible they didnt consider it real untill the text came though.We all believe our babies are perfect.

No, the question that would have been asked would have been 'if we need to contact you quickly can we .........' and SMS would have been one of the methods.

There's always a tension between sensitivity and urgency.

I can only see your point to a certain extent. There shouldn't be a lack of sensitivity due to urgency, in my opinion. She had the time to sms her.... the content should not have been as explicit and so alarming at that stage. It could have conveyed the message without the panic it instilled. I wish you had seen the look on this young mothers face as she tried to phone the midwife back to get more facts..... sensitive news should be delivered verbally and not by an sms message which may have been picked up much later in the day when the midwife service was closed perhaps?

I don't want health care to deteriorate to leaving sms messages... does anyone else? My instinct was to ring the midwife and say what a chump I felt she was. Cos she was.

Sorry but thats still not right. No one would surely expect what could be bad news or potentially bad news in a text, nor should any nurse think that is acceptable. What happened to their bed side manner FFS.

That's the point I was making about SMS not having an immediate guarantee of contact. The message could easily have arrived after midwife services had closed (although hospital midwifery is still 24x7).

Do you text a generic 'contact midwife ASAP' message which arrives at 2am and gives no info about what the issue might be or do you explain the situation as best you can and try to allay fears as much as possible.

I've never been a new mum so I don't pretend to understand what they must go through in those first days and weeks but when I've needed hospital intervention for other stuff I want to know as quickly as possible by whatever means.

It must depend on area... as I am also quite seriously anemic.. they only actually ring me if its worse than before..

I think that while it was perhaps shocking, that its the system, not the midwife... they are so short staffed.. and I think most feel they can not give new and expecting mums the time they need.. I looked at training to be a midwife..and was actually detered by a midwife as she said simply its no longer the job she signed up for..

Just a note. The testing for CF is a new one on me as Im an old bird... one of four that are carried out from the Guthrie or 'heel prick test' as a matter of course on all newborns and is not a requested test where they would be sitting waiting for a result due to family history. The blood drawn is pressed onto four paper areas on a test sheet, for each routine test. So in my eyes the sms should have arrived with a request to ring up to explain a point face to face i.e we have to retake one part of the mandatory blood test as it was inconclusive - this simetimes happens because of x ya and z please try not to worry until we retest. Simples really.

Just after my C section my midwife who was with me throughout came into the room and announced my mother was outside but couldnt come in because your only allowed 2 people on delivery suite (my grandma and grandad were there)

I was so thrilled because my mum lives 5 hour drive from me and i said to my grandma that although i loved her being there for my daughters birth it should have been my mum with me really...

my grandparents said they would leave so my mum came in and see me... midwife vanishes.. then returns and says 'oh your not the Kimberly who just had a still birth are you?

How fucking stupid could she be, she helped deliver my daughter, but the worry i had over the next few nights i could hardly sleep

I'm sorry if something put you off your chosen career, particularly this one.

A cousin runs a midwife led unit in a smallish north of England town and has done for many years. It's impossible to walk down the street with her without being stopped time after time by grateful mums (and dads). Many of the kids she's delivered over the years are now mums themselves.

It's probably not the job she signed up for all those years ago but she says it's still the best job in the world.

The delightful Mrs Rumour had the news of our sons hole in his heart announced as an after thought! "Yes, you seem to be doing OK and I think you will be home tomorrow... Oh, not sure about Phillip though, may have to keep him in. They found he has a hole in his heart!!"

I was at work when I got a frantic call from Les, she was devastated! All we got from the hospital was “Well, there is no good way to tell a new mother that her baby is not perfect!” That nurse was lucky I was as upset as Les! She had no compassion and couldn’t see what the fuss was about.

She also had problems when she told the midwife that she wanted to breast feed. The midwife said very sternly that the nurses have “better things to do than look over your shoulder all the time!” And went on to tell Les that there were bottles ready made up and there at all hours, make the most of it!

Could tell you about the “Date Rape Drug” incident, but wouldn’t want to make it seem that all NHS staff are bad! Quite why people get indignant when someone criticises one of the “caring” professions I don’t know! They are only human and to many it is just a job. I suppose they are always mindful that they may need them one day…

From an information governance point of view then it wouldnt be ideal to send a text with personal details about someones results, and it isnt a very sensitive way of receiving news. I once heard of a member of staff translating the initials DOA as dead on arrival when it actually stood for date of admission.

I was a paramedic for 15 years before taking further qualifications, and I was never taught how to "talk" to people professionally. The worst cases were where a patient had died in their home, and their wife/husband/partner had to be told their loved one had died. Of all the horrible jobs I did as a paramedic, that was the worst for me because I was never a great verbal communicator. I know that most medical staff aren't taught specifically how to talk to patients regarding bereavement or the giving of bad medical news, it's just down to the individual's "people skills".

I was a bloody good paramedic - if you wanted your life saving, you would want me there. If you wanted a nice chat about your varicose veins, talk to someone else.

All I can say to the OP is, get in touch with your local health authority PALS, and tell them your concerns. If you want the midwife's methods of communications to change, it'll start from there.

I was making a post about a tactless professional error of judgement and how others felt about it and perhaps have anecdotes of similar experiences - and yes other errors have happened - a lot it seems.

Update: Unfortunately the baby is a CF carrier, but does not have CF... which now means both of his parents have to be tested to see who he has inherited the gene from. Worse case scenario is both may have it and this baba was lucky not to have CF, but of course it has consequences for subsequent children. So all in all its still a worrying time.

They complained to their GP about the handling of it and thats being dealt with and thats being investigated.

I read up about these blood tests and CF has just been carried out on newborns for the past 5 years and so its building up an excellent database for the population which can be used as cross reference to helpo couples make decisions in future.

I wondered if we were behind in this testing as I know in the US citizens have to have a blood test prior to marriage.... but that was originally started to check if either had syphillis which is considered a bigger public health risk - ah a wonderful and mysterious world we live in....
