Hi, they'll usually just examine your tummy to check that everything is growing as it should be and they will take your weight, BP and urine sample. They may let you listen to baby's heartbeat as some do and some don't just depends really. If you've any worries or concerns just ask about them too. Could you not get a different midwife or see your GP instead? I have to see my GP here so I don't really see a midwife apart from my hospital appointments.
