As from last week i became under consultant care rather than midwife due to getting high blood pressure at 35 weeks. I would have had a. 36 week appointment yesterday with the midwife, where she told me position and size. Instead i had a consultant appointment. She didn't even look at my belly or find out the position of the baby. She just told me i had to be monitored twice a week. Is anyone else consultant led? Do they normally check where baby is. I'm now really confused.

No worries. ... although my midwife appointments are always held at my doctors surgery so maybe give your doctors a call today and get booked in 😃😃 @fozzywoz

Sometimes when I go I go to the hospital see the midwife first and then the consultant , but midwife just checks wee and blood pressure , but I still have my normal midwife that I go and see to @fozzywoz
