At least you have an appointment - it does seem rather poor though. Are they aware of your history? At my doctor's I could ring up and aske to be seen sooner anyway....Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

I insisted upon seeing my new midwife as soon as I moved. I was going to Australia though, and wanted to run a few things by her.
I agree with SavingH - make an appointment with your GP to check up on how things are going.Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

Oh I've seen the GP already..... got checked over, everything seemed fine till she started ranting about pregnant sheep, she's a bit weird, but then I do love an eccentric.....
The midwife was supposed to call me that day, after my appointment since she was actually at the gp's, but yet its taken a week to get a letter!
They are well aware of how far along I am as well.....
Oh well, maybe I'll get another scan booked in sharpish after I've seen her, and can get my definite definite confirmation its gonna be a boy..... gonna be really phished if its a girl LOL

In both the surgeries I was at you just rang or called in and made an appointment at reception. It seems crazy to have to wait for the midwife to send out a letter. I guess they all do their own way in different places.
The 20 week scan is amazing. You will love it - you can see so much
I don't mind what I have. After what happened to my cousin as long as it is healthy that is the main thing.Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947
