first midwife appointment
Had my first midwife appointment today at 10 weeks, but it was with a cover midwife rather than my usual one. She went through all the medical and family history questions but didn’t give me my hospital notes or take any bloods or a urine sample. At the end, she just said I’d receive my 12-week scan appointment in the post, and if I don’t, I should call the GP surgery to get my actual midwife’s number.
I asked when my next midwife appointment would be, and she said 16 weeks. My first pregnancy was a few years ago, so I can’t remember if this is normal. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Do I not need my maternity notes for my 12 week scan?
No. They give you your maternity notes at your 12 week scan. They will scan you first and if all ok they then provide you with notes 🥰
