I have to see a consultant when I was pregnant with my first, and I will have to see them again with this baby. I only had to see a consultant because my BMI was high, all they did was check my urine, blood pressure, listened to heart beat and advised me about what I should eat etc. I think it may depend on what you are seeing them for.

Agh ok this is my second I had 3rd degree tear with my boy was quite bad scared this time so midwife put me down to see one

Think what happens is very much down to why you're seeing the consultant - probably relating to avoiding more tears for you this time from what you said. I'm under consultant led care (and was in my last pregnancy) because of my general medical history (I suffer from a rare kind of complicated migraine) and blood pressure issues so at my first appointment this time discussed my medical history, my concerns and arranged extra tests for me to have (as well as bp and urine tests like at every ante-natal apt)
