Midwife Appts

I think birth plan is only at 36 week app.

Nope.. it’s all a bit pointless and last all of 5mins, they do a urine sample & ask how you are

Just heartbeat and urine for me

Birth plan isn’t til mid/late 30s x

If you aren’t having growth scans the midwife will start to measure baby at this stage, you’ll also get to hear baby’s heart beat. They test your urine and check blood pressure. While it may seem pointless to a lot of people it’s really important to pick up early signs of pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and urine infections

At 28 weeks you’ll also need some bloods taking to check your iron levels, blood group and antibodies (and possibly a glucose test if you have risks for diabetes)

Birth plans are normally done around 34-36 weeks. Not all trusts do them unfortunately but you can discuss options at any point.

The nhs website has a timeline of what your appointments will entail

I just had mine and it was just urine and bump measurement. I think she said the next one is more of the same but will get bloods done as well

Birth plan has been 36 week appointment both pregnancies for me. Not much goes on at 25 weeks, didn’t even get offered a 25 week appointment in my second pregnancy😂 just urine, blood pressure etc. my partner never came to those kind of appointments

Not much goes on until 28 weeks
