26 weeks midwife appt?

3rd baby, currently 25 weeks pregnant.

I have lots booked in at 28 weeks (growth scan due to being high risk, glucose test, midwife appt, anti D) but noticed in notes it says in the generic appt schedule that’s there’s a 26 week appt.

feeling conscious that I’ve not had midwife appt since 18 weeks, then growth scan at 20 and 8 weeks seems like a long time to not see/speak to anyone

anyone else have/haven’t had 26 week appt x

I have a community midwife 25 week appointment where I get my MATB1 form and they do some checks (blood pressure, weight etc). I’m high risk and aside from 2-4 weekly scans and my consultant appointments I’ve not seen my community midwife since 16 weeks! All seems normal 😊

I had no midwife appointments between 16 weeks and 28 weeks. 20 week scan as normal.

According to the NHS you only get a 25 week appointment if it's your first baby:

I had my last midwife's appointment at 16 weeks and have the next one at 28 weeks.

My notes say the 25 week appointment is only for 1st time mums. In this pregnancy (my second) I was seen at 16 then 28

I had a 25 week appointment with my second. It was only because I was a high risk pregnancy due to having had pre-eclampsia with my first. They had me on the FTM appointment schedule so they could check my blood pressure more frequently.

I’m currently 26 weeks - I had a midwife appointment last week at 25+6 and then a GTT the day after at 26. Prior to that I’d had a midwife appointment at 16 weeks and my anomaly scan at 20 weeks. I’m supposed to be having a midwife appointment every 2 weeks now, and a growth scan at 28, 32 and 36 weeks however the appointments have come through and scheduled for 32, 35 and 36 weeks. (Why? I’m not sure!)

The midwife gave me an appointment as well as my GTT as the hospital is across county boarders, so they work separately from the county my midwife is in. As she wasn’t sure if they’d do my urine and blood pressure at my GTT, she booked me in for the appointment.
