I’m currently 32+5. I last saw my midwife at 31 weeks 5 days (2nd august).
At the end of my appointment my midwife said she would contact me with a date for my next appointment later that week because the computer system wasn’t working. She said the appointment would be the week of 5th September, which will be when I’m 36-37 weeks.
It was a bit of a busy and chaotic appointment and I had a couple of lots of blood taken so had to go lie down in a cold room so I didn’t question it at the time.
However, when I got home I thought it seemed like my next appointment was quite a way away. I checked the NHS website and the website of my local NHS area and they both say I should have an appointment at 34 weeks (basically an appointment every 2 weeks from 32 weeks to 40 weeks).
I rang the midwife today and they said that the computer system still wasn’t working but they would let me know about my next appointment.
I’m wondering if I need to point out that I think my next appointment should be sooner than 5th September? I’ve not required any additional monitoring to this point. It’s my first pregnancy so I’m not sure whether the 34 week appointment is an optional one or whether there’s just been a bit of a mix up?
I feel like I’m probably being overly anxious and risk being labelled as pushy and a pain. But I also don’t want to miss and appointment
