Breast Clinic Referal - COVID Wait Times

Last week I noticed my left breast was leaking blood so saw my GP Thursday and was told I would be refered to the Breast Clinic and be seen within 2 weeks. I received my booking reference today but there are no appointments available and have to wait for a call from the hospital / contact my GP if I do not hear back within a weeks time.

 

Has anyone had to wait longer due to COVID? I am currently pregnant and due in 10 weeks and I dont know if this will affect my chance of breastfeeding as I dont know the cause of the bleeding. Struggling to sleeo due to worrying and just want to be checked and told everything is okay. 

  • Hi Lauren and welcome to the CC community.

    I'm sorry you find yourself in this rather stressful situation in the run-up to your little one's arrival but fingers crossed the hospital will be in touch and can get you booked in.

    Hopefully some of our members who have found themselves in similar situations will offer their support and advice to you soon but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our nurses then do be sure to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m  - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
