I thought the 25 week one was just 1st pregnancies.?
I remember her saying something like if u feel everything OK ring up and ill change to 28 weeks.

Its tomorrow and I'm keeping it as think my iron low ( with dd I had 5 iron transfusions as was very low), and starting to have similar symptoms, especially shortness of breath
Plus last time babies HR was 190bpm. Altho my 20w scan she was so blasé about it and said 'well. It looks fine' but didn't actually time anything
So. For peace of mind I'm going

Just wondering if this is normal practice.

I had a 25 week appointment this pregnancy (my 3rd) mood wife explained at my booking in I'd be having the same amount of appointments as a 1st toner due to high risk complications last pregnancy.

I'm on my second pregnancy and my midwife said they are now doing all the same appts as 1st pregnancies. I think it must vary from place to place? I'm not high risk, nor was my first

I’m on second pregnancy with no 25 week appointment. I’ve gone from 16 weeks to 28 weeks. Seems a long old wait this time!

I guess it depends on area perhaps, always nice to check in with the midwife though!

I'm on my second pregnancy and have had the same appointments as I did with my first baby. I'm having a miserable pregnancy but no actual complications and am low risk like with my first.

In my notes I have a sheet that shows first pregnancy appointments Vs subsequent pregnancies so I don't know why I've had all these appointments but I've been glad to have them

Thanks. Maybe it varies depending on area then.

Had my booking in on Monday- she said we will do all appointments as if first baby (it’s my third) and if I need more then no problem.

I had one at 22 weeks and then 29 (third pregnancy). Both were a bit pointless, well they took bloods at the 29 one I suppose, but they listened to the heartbeat so that was nice!

Yep I've just had my 25week one well I was 24+4 but I'm on my 3rd pregnancy too. Probally just does depend on area if they do them or not x

I'm on second pregnancy and also just having 16 and 28 week appointments, but at the 16-week one, the MW asked if I'd like a 25-week appt and would've booked me in if I'd said yes.

Sleepinglemon · 16/10/2019 11:27

My second pregnancy and I've had 9, 17, 21, 25, 28, 31, 33 and 35 week appointments so far.
