My midwife said after seeing her at 12 weeks that I didnt need to go back till after my 20 week scan is this the same for everyone 2 months seems ages without doing anything

I have been seeing a doctor every four weeks since we found out. Down to two after my next appointment. 8 weeks does seem like a long time to me to go without checking in with someone.

i saw my midwife for the first time at 5 weeks then not again til 16weeks. when I asked when she next wanted to see me she said 28 weeks!!!!! SO still another month to go. Personally I think its really bad considering we are carrying a little life inside us.
I have been for my scans and all is well so that keeps me sane, and I also get alot of movement all the time so I know LO is ok. Its not good enough tho
Hope you get it sorted, just make an appointment if you are worried about ANYTHING

does seem normal to me to be honest, i saw my midwife at 8weeks then 16weeks and my next appointment is next week when i will be nearly 26weeks.
It is pretty bad not what i expected, i thought there would be many more appointments i guess that starts now from what i've been told the last trimester you get checkups every 2 or 3wks?

I see my midwife every 4 weeks at the minute.

I think thats how it works in the UK hun - dont forget a lot of the girls on here are in countries where you pay for healthcare....

Im in the UK and ive been every four weeks since i found out. I do think it differs depending on what part of the country you live in as i have family in yorkshire who have only seen theirs once every few months whereas down here everyone i know has gone every 4 weeks

I saw mine at 12 weeks after dating scan and going back at 18 weeks for down syndrome blood test and then scan at 20 weeks. xx

I had my booking in at about 9 weeks... I think....
Then a 16 weeks app.... and she said she doesn't need to see me now til 28 weeks.
I think it's because it's third time for me, and we have a drop in clinic 1-4pm everyday, so if you have any worries, or even just wanna hear the hb, you can go and see a mw. I had my Nuchal at 12weeks, and then I have a 20 week scan, so that breaks up the MW apps. I find it's not too bad really

It really depends on the area you live in. I think for the UK that that's quite normal.
