Anyone NOT have a 37 week midwife appointment?

[*Star*]

I had my last appointment at 36+2 weeks (on Friday). They said that I'm classed as a low risk pregnancy (my last preg with IUGR meant I was being seen at the hospital alternate visits).

I was at the hospital for that appointment, and they said that baby is growing fine, which was the only thing putting me in the high risk category and therefore I could go to my local clinic now. She asked when my next appointment was with her, and it is Wednesday. Which makes me 38 weeks when I go.

It just seems strange, i thought after 36 weeks you were seen weekly until you gave birth?

part of me just wants to have an appointment to have a chat about the contractions and pressure i've been having. i'm sure i can wait till wednesday, but still....

no thats right, weekly appointments from 40 weeks unless theres issues with the pregnancy. We had a 36 week, 38 week appointment, next one for us is 40 weeks.

I had my 38 weeks appointment today and it was at 36 weeks before so no 37 either and if i'm still holding n my next one will be 2 days after my DD. X hope that helps x

I had my last one on weds (37+5) which was my chat about labour and fill in birth plan and I dont get another one till after my DD which doesnt seem likely being Im due to get induced.

I know my MW put all my appointments in my booklet somewhere when booking in, I think first timers get alot more apps than women that have done it before

I'm a first timer I've just had my 36 week appt this morning and my next one is at 38 weeks, then 40 weeks if I make it that far.

Same for me too, 36, 38 week etc except I can't get to see my midwife. She's only in our surgery once a week and so I'm having to see my GP instead.

Really could do with seeing my midwife because I'm suffering terribly with stomach and back pains since baby turned but I can't get an appointment with her

I only have them every two weeks now until DD but with my others I did go every week for the last few weeks so I was suprised too!
