16 week midwife appointment

They did at my 16 week one but in Hampshire

Yes my previous pregnancy they did this at my 16w midwife appt xx

My midwife in London said no because baby is too small so sometimes it can be hard to find so just leads to unnecessary worry x

I’m in Essex but my midwife did check babies heartbeat at my 16 week appt last week so hopefully they will for you 🤞🏼 x

Yes in Bognor Regis

If you ask they should do it x

What else do they do on the 16 week check up? I have mine on Thursday

Up my way they don’t routinely check until after 20 weeks due to causing potential worry if they can’t find it. I asked my midwife though and she made an exception on the basis I promised I’d not worry more if she couldn’t find it. This was today and although it took a while to get a clear sound, she found it fine! There’s never a harm in asking for them to deviate from the guidelines, but they might refuse so just prepare for that in case! I only asked because I’ve not felt movement yet and it’s my third, with my second I felt movement at 14 weeks!

I’m emsworth and my midwife checked my babies heartbeat at 16 weeks without question
