How often did you see your MW in the last 4 weeks?

Just curious - How often were you offered an apt with your MW during your last 4 weeks? I am only being seen every two weeks, which feels like a long time to wait. Did you have the same. Thanks

I've had the same, saw the midwife at 36 weeks, 38 weeks and 40 weeks (today). Next appointment is booked for 41 weeks.

I was at hospital at 36 weeks at hospital as I had a growth scan, I have an appointment with the midwife at 38 weeks and then at 39, 40, 41 whenever baby decides to make an appearance!

I saw a midwife at my last Consultant Appt at 34+4 weeks and have just booked an appointment (as instructed) with my midwife for next week when I'll be 38+4 weeks.

At the moment I am seen every 4 weeks (32 weeks atm) then from 34 weeks (next appointment) I will be seen every 2 weeks.

ah well just have to try and relax and wait two weeks - tx for letting me know DH is anxious as he works weekends away so wanted a check every week in case he needs to cancel a trip last minute.

I was seen at 25 weeks to be given a form, have to go back at 28 weeks to be measured. Not sure what pattern they take after that.

With my last pregnancy I was on fortnightly checks at hospital and weekly checks with midwife, so was seen every week.

32 MW
36 MW
38 GP
40 MW

This is standard in my area for a non-complicated pregnancy.

JamieJay · 06/08/2010 21:22

36, 38, 39, 40 and next Monday when I'll be 41 (unless my darling child decides to put in an appearance over the weekend!)

notnowbernard · 06/08/2010 21:23

36w, 38w, 40 (had sweep), due to see at 41 if no baby

Alicetheinvisible · 06/08/2010 21:27

Every 2 weeks for the last 6wks of pg. Just had an app on wed (39+2) where she informed me it didn't look like baby was going to be making an appearance any time soon, see me once i have had it Shock

I have made myself an app with the hosp antenatal clinic for next week as the thought of not seeing anyone for the last 2wks of pg was making me a bit anxious.

Every 2 weeks, although I had a sneaky extra at 37 when they dropped off my homebirth kit, but that was just a flying visit, not a check.

nunnie · 07/08/2010 09:19

Ooppps totally misread your thread title I will blame tiredness, thought it meant in the last month in general not the last month in pregnancy, my post is irrelevant so ignore it sorry.

Cosmosis · 07/08/2010 10:21

same as above every two weeks and then one at 41 as well if not had it by then.

Candinha · 07/08/2010 18:16

Thanks ladies it seems everyone is getting the same unless there's complications. I am going to try and book a sneeky Wink apt next week as hubby is away at the weekend and last check MW said head nearly engaged. Not keen on the idea of giving birth without him around
