I got letters but I refused to give them my phone number

I just wasn't sure if I should be having a 25 week appointment or not, I guess I will hear from them in due course! Most of my appointments have been booked while I've been at the clinic so not had to wait for letters.

Don't remember having one at 25 weeks. Is there a particular reason you think you should have one? Anything that hasn't been done?

I had one at 25 weeks. Appointments have always been made by the midwife whilst I was there, but I know that varies from area to area.

I'd give them a quick call to check. Also, in front of my maternity book was a timeline of appointments so you know what to expect. Do you have similar in your book?

I just read on the NHS website and in one of the books that DH is reading that if you are having your first baby,you usually have extra appointments at X and X weeks... it doesn't really matter, I was just curious as I've not had anything through yet even though I've got my 28 week one booked.

Will look in my notes Euro, thanks

I book my next appointment in at the end of midwife appointment so no letters. I had an appointment at 24 weeks but that with my doctor.

I find it really bizarre that people would want to touch somebody's bump though. I've had a few friends/colleagues give mine a pat which didn't really bother me, but why on earth people would want to is beyond me, especially if they don't know them.

Psycho - I'm a FTM too. I had MW appt at 25wks, then 28wks, 32wks and have 36wks, 38wks booked in. I'm in Wales though so may be different.

I've checked my notes and I should have one... I do have a few weeks yet though so I'll give it until a week or so before and I'll call them if I haven't heard anything

Wonder if it's different everywhere. Not just country to country, but within regions. This is my first too, and I've only had appointments once a month until now. But now I've hit 30 weeks they go to every two weeks. To be honest they've been fairly pointless until now, she's at least now doing something.

All of my MW appointments are made at the last appointment (except for scans and anything with the nurse like jabs). I had a 24 weeks app, although it was a bit earlier, and next is 28 week.
