Heard nothing from my Midwife

15wks with DCDA twins. I haven't heard anything from my midwife about my 16 week appointment- should I have by now?
The only contact I've had with her is the initial call to register me on their system. I do feel like I've been left to it and a bit neglected and I'm worried I won't get an appointment. What should I do? Sad

I don't know if it's different for different trusts but I had to book my 16 week appointment in myself (Liverpool). Mine is based in my GP surgery, maybe give them a call?

It seems so random between different areas. My midwife booked alot of my appointments at my initial booking appointment. So I left with a date for my 12 week scan, my 16 wk appointment, and my 25 week appointment. The hospital booked my 20 week scan when I went for my 12 week scan

I'm 32 weeks now but didn't get an appointment for 16 week appointment until I was 16w. I ended up having it at 17w1. I needed to keep calling/messaging the midwife team until someone got back to me. I think the issue in my area is that I was initially under the home birth midwife team and then the trust has stopped home births so no one knew who was going to take over as my midwife. So far I've seen three different midwives

In my area booking MW appointments is our own responsibility and we have to contact our doctors surgery to make an appointment for the right week. What did they tell you to do at your booking appointment? I would call the MW service for your area and double check if you're unsure.
