Come back later

Apparently most maternity wards these days have what is called a 'triage suite'. I knew nothing about the purpose of such a place so asked the midwife. She said that this is where pregnant ladies go when they turn up at the hospital after labour has started so that an assessment can be made as to the stage of labour they're at.

What appears to happen is a midwife or doctor checks you out and then sends you home unless the baby's head is already showing.

You may as well call it the 'time wasters suite'.
