Random sure start hv appt

So a few weeks ago I told my midwife we were moving out of the area and so needed a new hospital etc. All got sorted fairly quickly. 3 days later I got a letter off surestart saying a hv would need to come and see me, they had been referred by midwife. Another mtb across the road is further along than I am but doesn't have one of these letters. I missed the appt today (as I work full time and lost the letter to ring up) but they've rung my midwife to say I wasn't there and they're worried about me. I have 2 apps with midwives this week. One with new one, one with old one but I'm low risk. Is this normal?! I don't understand it and now I have found the letter it doesn't say anything about why they want to come round.

Ahh ok mtb across the road is on dc3 so that's probably why she doesn't have one and I'm a first time mum. I'm 33 weeks now so it makes sense. I'll refuse it as I'm moving anyway and under a surestart centre where my new midwife is. Thanks!

In our area a hv now comes to visit you at home some time after 28 weeks and introduce themselves, see if you have any questions. You dont have to have it, I turned it down as this is dc2 and feel i know all i need to know.

How far along are you? I noticed in my notes that there's now an antenatal HV appt, which I didn't have with first pregnancy 3 yrs ago.
