Can’t think of any questions as mine was quite thorough but she may want a urine sample so don’t have a wee before she comes just in case, sometimes they take blood (mine couldn’t as I have bad veins) and you will go through a questionnaire about family history, mental health etc xx

The first appointment is about an hour long but it goes pretty quickly. The midwife will take detail medical and family history from both you and your partner. Bring your partner along as they need details from both families. I have included a link below as it describes to you a brief idea of your first midwife interview.
