Midwife/ health visitor home visit prior to birth

Hi everyone. I've heard quite a few people talk about having a home visit a few weeks before baby is here. I'm 38 weeks now and haven't heard any word of this? Is everyone offered one or just some people? Just to know if I should be chasing it up or not.
