What to expect at 25 week midwife appointment?

I have mine at 3.30, just wondered.
Thanks

Not a lot really! The usual pee sample, blood pressure check, tummy fondle and listening in of baby's heartbeat. She may measure your fundus length, she may not, and she'll ask whether baby is moving okay. And providing that's all tickety-boo, I imagine you'll be done and dusted at 3:40! I had a blood test at 28 weeks so unless it's different in your area, don't think you'll get one of those. I'm 32 weeks now and that's kind of all I get at mine!

agree with wobblyweeble82 it changes at 28 weeks thats when you have the blood test and maybe a second fundus measurement. So nothing really at 25 weeks, disppointing really isnt it.

Yes, sorry to burst your bubble, but it's so unexciting that second time round my midwife said I didn't even need one (saw them at 18 weeks and not again until 28!)

Ah but it's always lovely to hear baby's heartbeat thundering away :) And if yours is anything like mine, it's always amusing to watch her kick the doppler wand out of the way
