Midwife prenatal visits 3rd tri

tantdylf · April 2013

What does your last trimester look like for prenatal visits?

I saw my MW 4 weeks ago at 27 weeks, today I'm 31 and 1 day and saw her. And then the next time she wants to see me is 34 and 3 days and then 37 and 3 days.

My son was born before 37 and 3 days. I have a bit of anxiety about it.

Planning a home birth this time. And she's delivering the birth pool at the 37 week visit. She's out of town for my 36th week.

She is convinced this baby won't be earlier or as early as my son because my health is far better. I weigh 10lbs less at 31 weeks than I did when I got pregnant with my son! I eat wayyyy better, I'm just way healthier as far as how I take care of my body. But does that make a difference in how long you carry your babies? TIA!

Every two weeks between 28 and 36 weeks, and every week after that.

I'll see my MW again at 28wks and every 2 wks thereafter until 38 or 40 wks or unless s/t comes up between now and then.

Wish I had more to say to comfort you. Good luck.

Mine are every two weeks now and have been since 34 weeks and will be up until 40 weeks when they will go down to weekly appointments.

P.s. for the UK

I have been seen every 5 weeks (4 if you are new to the practice) up until 30 weeks then every 2 weeks thereafter until 36 weeks then it is weekly.

I have my last "monthly" appointment this week, then I go every 2 weeks until 36 weeks, at which point I will go weekly.

I also had every 2 weeks from 28-36. I start my every week this week--Friday will be my 37 week appointment (36w5d).

As far as your second question, there are a lot of reasons why you might have gone earlier and every pregnancy is

My midwife wouldn't deliver a baby before 37 weeks. I had visits every two weeks for the last trimester and then once a week the last month. I delivered at 37w3d so I didn't have any weekly visits.

I don't know about health being a determin
