Last midwife appointment?

Just had a midwife appointment at 33+6 and she said I won’t have another until the 18th September when I am 38+6 😳 it’s my second but I assumed I would have one in before then, is this normal? I might have my baby by then 🥹

Usually every 2 weeks from 36 in my area

Mine are every 2 weeks from 34 weeks x

They tend to see you less and less as you have more babies... I'm having my 3rd and hardly been seen throughout my pregnancy. I have one last appt at 37+4 and thats only because I push saying baby might come early as my first 2 have. Otherwise would have been at 38+ weeks too

I have normally been to an appointment every 3 weeks so I’m not sure why she has changed it. I just switched midwives as they’ve changed practices but I don’t understand why she would make me wait 5 weeks 😭x

@neesi my first son was born at 38+4 so it’s very possible baby will be here before my next one 😂

i had a midwife appointment on Sunday at 33+6 and she said they're every 2 weeks and booked me in for my 36 and 38 week appointments there and then.. also my second and no problems regarding baby

@Stacie I’m classed as high risk 🥲 it just doesn’t make any sense

I am 34 weeks today and had one midwife appointment today and have appointments every 2 weeks as my pregnancy is complicated.

Same boat here and it’s my first baby! my midwife has been zero help my whole pregnancy I feel totally let down 🥲

@Eryn I felt the same with my first, looks like history is repeating itself!

Yes I’m baby 2 and my midwife appointments were 33 weeks and next is 38+1 (next week😆). I guess it’s just luck what day of the week it falls as she is only at the practice on a Monday x

@Shannon my new midwife said the last midwife did weird weeks and she only does even weeks so that’s why it’s 5 but not sure why she didn’t put me in for 3 weeks instead 😬 I don’t mind I suppose if anything happens I’ll just go into hospital it’s mainly just to be reassured everything is fine

Mine is 36 then 38:) it should be every 2 weeks after the 36 week one

@Brittany I’m just skipping past 36 weeks then 😂

I had one at 10w, 16w, 28w, 34w and she’s on annual leave now so I’ve got no more !!! That’s literally it and I’m expecting a baby with cardiac abnormalities and having to birth out of town so you’d think they’d want to see me again 🙃🙃

@Rebecca that’s actually ridiculous 😳 I think I’ve had 5 in total so might possibly have a sixth, maybe contact the hospital you’re going to and explain they might monitor more?

Mine are every week after 35 weeks! But it’s also my first kid so idk

Mines was 32 weeks, next one is 36 weeks, then every 2 weeks after that x

Usually every 2 weeks from 33/36 weeks

@Nicole I’m under south Tyneside and am seeing my midwife every 2 weeks now and I’m 34 weeks x

@Grace I have a growth scan on the 27th so I will probably ask to be monitored more based on that, sometimes they just leave you to it I think x

They’ve seen me every 2 weeks from 32 weeks and this is my second! X

@Keisha mine must not care 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 xx

@Nicole yeah I definitely would that’s a long time to wait otherwise isn’t it. This is my second x

@Grace if they ask to induce I’m going to decline anyway so I will need to be monitored more x
