How often do we see a midwife in the third trimester of pregnancy?

I had just seen my midwife and was scheduled to see her six weeks later. I am 29 weeks pregnant and feel confused because as far as I know at this time we should be meeting every 2 weeks. Do you think this is a mistake?

hiya I think it’s every 3 weeks - mine was 28, 31, 34 (1st pregnancy)

Is this your first or second baby? I know you see your midwife less in your second pregnancy than first x

I’m sure it’s every three weeks until you reach 34 weeks and then every two weeks until 40 - 28, 31, 34, 36, 38, 40, 41, 42

For your first from now it’s every 3 weeks but if it’s a seconds you don’t get as many

I’m 2nd pregnancy and every 3 weeks, 28, 31, 34, slightly fall into high risk due to high BMI. Wonder if Xmas break affects it?

@Laura it hasn’t for me. I’ve got my 36 week appointment on Thursday (although I’ll actually be 37 weeks) and then my 38 week appointment on 27th December

If it’s a first pregnancy it’s usually appointments at 28/31/34/36/38/40/41 weeks. So 3 week gaps and then 2 weeks and then 1 week after 40. If it’s a second pregnancy then usually 28/34/36/38/40/41 weeks. But lots of variables depending on trust and if you have any other factors/high risk or if anything gets picked up at an appointment. This is my second and I saw midwife at 28 weeks and next is 34 weeks so 6 week gap and then it’ll be closer. Though I do recall even with first they did say the 31 weeks wasn’t absolutely necessary and sometimes they get women to go to the GP instead so even with a first pregnancy, it might be missed depending on trust/need.

I have seen mine every 2 weeks from 28 weeks

I’m 34 weeks and iv only had about 3 appointments got my last one tomorrow so about 4 I’d say
