Missed Something ?

[xCherylx]

Hey guys, I'm not too sure if I have missed an appointment.
I had my first Midwife appointment at 7 weeks,
Then I had my 8 week scan,
Also my bloods at 14 weeks.

And thats it...

I just rang up for my 18 week appointment and I won't be having that until January 9th. (I'll be over 20 weeks then)

It seems like I should have seen my midwife alot sooner than this

i had my 15 wk appt last week and wont b seeing my mw until after my scan

Im not sure how the appts work with MW's but with my doc I had an appt at 7wks and I have appts every 4 weeks since. So I saw her at 7, 11, 15 and now 20 weeks.

I dont know if that helps since Im with a doc not a MW.

I think that's fine if you're not having problems. You have your midwifes number right?

 

[xCherylx]

yeah I do, but it's just that the baby hasn't had it's heart checked since 8 weeks and with a history of family heart problems I thought it would be more.

Cheryl, we are in the same area. In the pregnancy record paperwork that they give you to bring to each appointment, on page 10 there is aschedule of antenatal care. I assume you are on level one. It says 18 week appointment is discretionary, then detailed scan then at 24 weeks a midwife appointment. Hope this helps

I'm on level 2 It's just people say that they see their midwife once a month and i haven't seen her for over 2 lol

I'm on level 2 as well. I made an appointment to see her at 18 weeks. If you are worried give them a call.

 

[xCherylx]

Yeah I made an appointment for 18 weeks which I will be next Tuesday.
However they gave me an appointment for 9th January... :'(

Sounds about right to me hun. x

I'm just impatient and with alot of family health complications I guess I was just hoping to be monitored more

You can see your GP at anytime just to double check things. I did when I was feeling rough and they would check HB and urine.

First time they said i had a cold and ended up in hospital 2days later with water infection only needed 5 drips
But next time I felt rough and wasnt seeing MW for a few weeks saw GP again and spotted another water infection and got it sorted there and then
