Hi Girls,
I went to the doctor this week for my first appointment, she gave me a pregnancy pack of leaflets and it detailed the antenatal appointments you get nowadays,
4-10 Weeks GP
10-12 Weeks Midwife booking in
11-13 Weeks Early Dating Scan
16 Weeks Midwife
20-21 Weeks Fetal Anomaly Scan
24 Weeks (First time mums only - With GP)
28 Weeks Midwife
32 Weeks (First time Mums only - with GP)
34 Weeks Midwife
36 Weeks Midwife
38 Weeks Midwife
40 Weeks Midwife
41 Weeks Midwife
I have had kids before , but a while ago, so I was quite surprised that unless a first time mum, you now only have max 8 appointments with Midwife if you go to past your due date! plus 2 scans.
I'm sure they will contact if any problems, but I will go from 16 week checkup till 28 weeks without seing a midwife as only the scan in between.
Does anyone else have these worrys or am I asking too much?
