I'm so angry *update* got my appointment


I was meant to have my 38 weeks appointment with the midwife today. Last time I saw her at 36 weeks I was told to book an appointment for 38 weeks, which is what I asked for at reception. I was just getting ready to go when I looked at the letter I was given and they booked me for next tuesday I'll be 39+2 then. It might be too late, I have a feeling the baby will be here before and I have so much to ask, and How do I know it's all well?
...and my partner has taken the day off from work to come with me

update:
I decided to go to the hospital anyway. Explained my point of view and since it was their mistake, I did manage to have my appointment, it took some persuation but it worked. I'm so glad I did, since the midwife said that the baby is very low, meaning he can come sooner than my due date

Its ridiculous!! I think its daft that you only get seen every 2 weeks at this point! Can you not get a cancellation hun??
Im seeing mine this week ill be 38+3, I just think you could go into labour at any time and I dont feel prepared at all!!! They still dont really inform you about much when you go and seem to make out you have ages left, yet you could give birth any time!!!
I would demand to be seen sooner and say you arent happy because there are things you need to ask.

Good luck hun!

Yes, that's true. I guess I'll have to look at the bright side.

Is there a drop in session with your midwives? Mine has one once a week where you can just turn up without an appointment.
