Anyone else?

This is my first successful pregnancy so I have nothing to compare it to, however all of my appointments have been at the local doctors/hospital

All my appointments for first born and this one I’ve had to go to the midwife which is like a 30 min drive x

@Francesca same. The only time a midwife ever came to my house was the day after I got home from the hospital with my first. All other appointments before and after birth have been at some sort of health centre

@Bonnie I didn’t even get that I had to go up the hospital 🤣🤦‍♀️

I’ve never heard of anyone having home visits unless they’re with the homebirth midwives

@Leigh-Anne both my kids they were all home visits with the community midwives and I definitely didn’t do home births 😂 I thought this was the norm

@Charlie I think it’s the opposite 😂 your area must of had a good amount of midwives that they were able to do that, now there’s probably less and being at a clinic they can see more people

All my appointments have been in hospital/childrens centre. Never heard of them coming to us, would b handy

I've never had a midwife visit my home (except a private one I paid for). My first child was born during covid though. Every time I go to an appointment this time it's very rushed and they make a point of saying how busy they are and how hard it is to find appointment slots. Very strange as I thought the birth rate was going down. I guess they must be short of midwives these days!

All of my appointments are at my local GP surgery, community midwife is there every Wednesday. I don’t think it is affordable or viable for midwives to travel for each appointment anymore for routine appointments.

During Covid, my midwife said they weren't allowed to do any home visits. We've had one at home which was our very first and all others will be at our local doctor's surgery (we have a midwife team based there) or at the hospital x
