Midwife appointment

Where I live you get a scan and first meeting at 12weeks after you self refer but I think England is different possibly

Think 🤔 I was called for my first meeting with the midwife when I was about 10 weeks and she booked my scan x

I was 10 weeks at my first appt

I was 10/11weeks, but she thought I was 12weeks.

I was 8 weeks and I was called into discuss options ect, then I had my first scan date through the post at about 10 weeks for my first scan at 12 weeks xx

I’m 20 weeks and still never met my midwife 🫠 I’ve had 7 apps cancelled

When you usually ring GP for pregnancy they book you in a telephone consultation with midwife which she then will book you in for your 8-10 week appointment xx

I have my booking appt Monday and I’ll be 8 weeks then. She contacted me yesterday!

I’ll add it took 2 weeks for them to get back to me.

how did you do your first scan then?

I called when I was 4weeks and after taking details she said the midwife will call soon

surely that isn’t right??? Can you not change midwife? You and your baby need monitoring. X

had my first scan with a sonographer at 12 weeks, they still haven’t given me a date for my 20 week one even though I’ve called everyday this week and never met a midwife

in our gp centre, we have only one mid wife unfortunately

I’ve sent a complaint email twice, even complained to my
Gp who said it was outright neglect and was going to contact them for me. I’m trying to change hospitals but waiting to hear from the new one

did u do your scan privately? If not then who booked the scan for u considering u didn’t have any midwife?

In my area they are supposed to do your initial booking in appointment at 8 weeks and then they organise your 12 weeks scan

no the scan was At the hospital I’m not sure who booked it I just received a letter with the appointment

you should contact PALS as that’s really not right!! There’s screening tests etc you should have been offered and it’s shocking that no one is monitoring your pregnancy!

hello, I have sent two complaint emails to pals but not heard back, I have tried to call and leave messages but they never answer. I spoke to my doctor who is writing an official complaint to them x

ahhh that’s awful, I’m so sorry you’ve been treated like that. I’m glad your dr is on it at least! I’m keeping everything crossed for you that you start to get the care you deserve!!

12 weeks (was 13.5 in actuality), then 16, 20, and have an appt coming up on 24th week

I would maybe call them back and say you haven’t heard anything, you usually get seen between 8-10 weeks as you need blood work doing and your weight and things like that, the first appointment is quite a long one as they go through family history and previous babies if any ect xx
