Did anyone 25-26 week midwife appointment get cancelled?

[NishaaS123]

I was just wondering have my 25-26 week appointment coming up in about 3 weeks was wondering did they cancel anyones yet or is it important that you have to attend?

I'm 37 weeks so had my 36 week as normal, as I will my 38 next week - but I know my community cancelled appointments around 24 and 26 weeks. I didnt ask why but I imagine its staff shortages and they are prioritising those further along. Maybe ask your surgery/hospital if they can put you on a reserve list and if someone doesnt turn up, can you take it?

my 24w midwife app was cancelled..trying to get the 28w booked..they told me to call in 2w time as they are not sure they will be open, currently 23w preg.

My midwife called me today about my next check for around this time but that was only to change the time as due to staffing and some shortages she said there making sure they are still going to be able to cover all the appointments, cancelling it was never mentioned but I guess all areas might be different.

I've just had my 31 week appointment made into a telephone consultation.

36 week appt has been turned into a telephone consultation

I’ve been told my 25 week appointment is cancelled and they’ll try to do as much as possible over the phone. Currently 19 weeks.

Did they post your Matb1 form if it was cancelled?
I think mine will be or will be over the phone. I am a bit worried as I've not put on any weight yet (I'm a size 8 so pretty tiny) and felt relieved they'd at least be keeping check of my bump measurements!

I had an appointment at 24 weeks, that has been cancelled and moved to when I'll be 27 weeks.

They don't start bump measurements till 28 weeks, atleast they don't here!

I'm 23 weeks and had a midwife appointment on 14th April. It's been cancelled but I was told to expect a call as a midwife at a hospital might be seeing me.

I had my 24 week appt last week face to face all good
I also have my 28 week appt booked as well

My trust told us to attend all appointments as usual.

My 25 week was cancelled and done over the phone. The midwife posted my MATB1 which has since arrived. She said they are probably cancelling all 31 week apps as well and doing over the phone but keeping in 28 week apps as that is when they start measuring your bump and they listen to baby etc again.

Obviously you still have the number for triage should you have any issues between this. Should be feeling regular movements from 25 weeks although not always in a pattern (according to midwife)

Hope this helps anyone who is unsure

Thank you for sharing your experience guys will update as to if my appointment went ahead or not

I had mine because I was concerned about headaches and seeing black dots. But I had to go to the maternity unit to have it because the was too busy and no longer doing home appointment. I was told to book in my 28/29 week check up.

My 25 week check was due next week but this has now been cancelled and will be completed over the phone.
My midwife said that she needs to see me at the 28 week appointment and then following that, all being well, no further check ups or appointments until baby is here.

I had my 25 week appointment yesterday. Husband had to stay in the car whilst I went in and saw a different midwife but was seen.
