Appointments

I've had my booking and also my 12 week scan. Got a letter in the post for my 20weeek. Do I have to book my next midwife appointment or do I get sent it automatically?

It should be automatic but it might depend on your trust. I'd ring and ask.

I had to phone my GP and book in with my midwife at the surgery for my 25week check. As I came out of my 25week check appointment I then booked for my 28week check at the reception desk.

My midwife normally books me in for the next one at the end of an appointment- have you got a booking for your 16 week appointment? Might just be a phone call but should be something. If not, have a look at the phone numbers you've been given & see if there's midwife office or similar, they should be able to get you booked in.

I had booking in at 8 weeks, 12 week scan when I was 12w5 days and now I'm 15 weeks with no appointment for 16 weeks. With my first two my midwife was a community midwife and saw me at my GP surgery. She would book my next appointment there and then. I'm now with a different team as I'm wanting a home birth so think I will try to call tomorrow to get an appointment booked in.

All mine have been automatic.
I am under consultant led care so mostly at the hospital, my trust is now paperless so all online. I did get an app sent to see the community midwife at 35 weeks quite early on.
