There have been numerous threads asking how often we should be seeing the Midwife in the later weeks of pregnancy which I have answered a few times. Hence I thought I would create a new thread giving this info and will try to remember to keep bumping it.
I live in Sussex and was given a schedule titled The Care of Low Risk Pregnancy which shows my appointments as follows (Midwife had always stuck to this apart from when I was showing signs of pre-eclampsia a few weeks back and saw her weekly):-
28 weeks - Glucose Test then Midwife for results
32, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41 (if not yet delivered)
