25 week midwife appointment

[Firstpregnancy2014]

What happens at this?

My apppointment was booked for next thursday when ill be 25+5 but i cant make it so i have had to change it to this thursday where ill be 24+5 .. is this going to be a problem?

Will midwife measure my bump?
Thanks !

There won't be any problem doing it at 24+5.

I never had this appt because you only have it with your first baby and when I had my first the midwife got confused and thought it was my 2nd so only booked me for a 28wk appt.

Anyway. They should measure your bump, dip your wee and ask how you're feeling.

I just had mine today at 25+3 (second baby). My midwife took my BP, took my urine sample, gave me the MatB1 cert for work, had a listen of the heartbeat with a Doppler and sent me on my way till next appt at 31 weeks.

No bump measuring this time at mine by the way, but she said they will next time.

Great thanks !
I was really hoping they would measure my bump.. has anyone ever measured themselves for a rough guide?

I haven't tried, I heard it's very easy to do it wrong unless you have had training and know what you are doing. I would probably panic myself. TBH I probably would hold off till your next appt. if I were you rather than trying myself.

I have my appointment this week and it's my 5th so it's not just first time mams. I haven't seen anyone since about 15 weeks though.

Hello, I've just had one of those. Im 30 weeks now.

She didn't measure my bump until 28 week appointment when she also did a blood test.

At 25 weeks she did my blood pressure and listened to the baby's heart and that was pretty much it!

I was measured at 25weeks, I measured 25cms from belly button down to pubic bone. Apparently thats perfect measurement for the gestation.

Had mine last week. MW said she wouldn't measure this time as results are still unreliable at this stage and it can make people panic. They will likely start it from your next one Don't forget to ask for your MATB1 form if you haven't had it yet.

25 weeks I had my Bump measured and plotted on personal GROW chart, BP checked, urine dipped, chat about whooping cough and Anti-D. Checked I'd booked some antenatal care. No listening for heart beat. Bump was 24.5cm so slightly under but not anything to worry about - pretty much what I'd measured it as (looked it up on internet beforehand just to see). Supposed to be 1cm for each week you are PG from now on.

Antenatal classes even.
