Health visitor appointment antenatally

Hi,
I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and I've got a health visitor appointment tomorrow. My midwife said she didn't refer me and it's not common practice for them to see us before baby is born so was really confused. Now I'm panicking, I'm a first time mum, my partner can't get the day off work so my dad's coming over to be with me but I'm so worried. I do have anxiety but midwife has said this isn't something that should have flagged up for them to come.
Just looking for some reassurance as I'm worrying like crazy. Been running around making sure everything is perfect for baby even though we have a couple of weeks just to show I am capable of looking after her despite my partner working 12 hour shifts. Just so worried so if anyone has been in this situation, can you let me know what I can expect please?😣
Thank you if you got this far

Sorry to hear your experience.
The relationship between you both needs to be a supportive one. We do need to ask a lot of questions but they should be used as a way of making an assessment, not a judgement.
You can request another Health Visitor if it doesn’t feel right.
