When should I be seeing my midwife?

I am a bit confused as to when I should be seeing my midwife! From my dates I'm 11 weeks but an early scan has me at 9+2 .

My midwife at the gp surgery couldn't see me for my booking appointments so I had it done at the local hospital. The pair have been awful at communicating with each other and there seems to be a different midwife working from my surgery every time I contact them!

I know I need at 16 week appointments, but when else?

Thanks

Normally by 12 weeks.

Official NHS schedule (it changes based on 1st or subsequent babies):

If you require a gestational diabetes test, that will be around 24 weeks. Whooping cough vaccine from 20 weeks onwards, and flu vaccine if you're pregnant during flu season.

Hope that helps!

Ime booking in 8-10 weeks, scan 12 weeks, appointment 16 weeks, scan 20 weeks, appointments at 25 weeks and then every 3 weeks until 34 weeks when it becomes every two weeks.
