Gestational diabetes

Midwife

Is the midwife we have for our routine appointments the same when giving birth? With my first it wasn’t but was also in lockdown so may have been why, I mainly ask because I don’t like my routine midwife so don’t really want her when I go into labour, I can put up with it for the appointments! Thanks!
