I had to visit triage after a fall last week and I was offered one. I was 39.3 and she said they can do one any time after 39 weeks. I have midwife today and will be having another one, I’m 40.3 today so I’m hoping this one works!

Usually they only offer from 40 weeks unless there's other reasons to
