    Hey Glam - I got mine today (28 weeks) and cna now send it off. The NICE guideleines definitely say to see the GP at 25 weeks, not the Mw, and we commented on it today as apparently it's causing problems.

    My MW said it typical of this government to bring something in without thinking it through properly and I have to say I agree!

    I'll look at the NICE guidelines tomorrow then and I'll bring it up with someone and get some clarification.

    I got mine on monday, I applied at 25 weeks and I'm 32 weeks now so 7 weeks not too bad really
    I am journeying to a debt-free life.
    Our estimated debt-free date is January 2040. I'm on a mission to bring that date closer!

    NICE Guidlines say
    25 weeks Your midwife or doctor should:
    • check the size of your abdomen
    • measure your blood pressure and test your urine for protein.
    interestingly the 25wk app is down as an extra one if your first baby - thankfully in my area everyone has it first time or not :D

    Interesting. In the booklet given to me it says GP, and is published by my local hospital trust. It doesn;t give the option of Mw for that one.

    We don't have a 25wk appointment where I am, even for first babies - it was 23 weeks and then 28 weeks, both with midwife.

    I sent my hipg form off 6 weeks ago and got the payment today.

    Did anyone having a baby late get the payment?
