I have my 28 week midwife appointment tomorrow and I can't remember if you get Weighed at this one? I know you get bloods taken, the usual urine and blood pressure check.

Are you supposed to be weighed? I was weighed at my booking in appointment and they never did it again. I supposed if you ask they would I just never bothered about it.
But come to think of it I guess they should of been keeping track of it for my notes.

They don't normally weigh in the UK except for at booking and maybe if you're at risk for gestational diabetes?

Depends on the hospital or midwife. Where I work now, it's common to be weighed at every appointment. Where I last worked it was just at booking and 36 weeks.

I didn't get weighted but there was a scales in the room so helped myself cos i was intrigued & don't have any at home!

Just booking and 36 weeks here.

Not routine to be weighed at any time except booking

I haven't been weighed at every midwife appointment but I do ask to use their scales every time ha ha 😜 30 weeks on Tuesday so will be interesting to see what I've put on 😀

I've been weighted at every appt... Didn't have this with DS1 two years ago but this time- every appt...

I've never been weighed at any appointment in either of my pregnancies. They've asked for my weight at booking to work out BMI, but that's it.
