At your booking appointment do they only speak to both you and your partner together, or do they speak to you individually / privately also?

Self-Referral

I was told by my Doctors surgery that I needed to self-refer to the midwives using ‘Badger Notes’. I filled in the information on the link they sent and have not heard anything since. Does anyone know roughly how long it takes for the midwives to contact you after submitting the forms?
