 Topic: How often do you see your midwife?

I know everyone is different but I am was wondering how often you see your midwife. I am 28 weeks 2nd baby and normal pregnancies so far, and still on monthly visits. Suits me, just wondering.

My midwife comes for the last time this week I will miss her heaps too! It is such an intimate time to share with someone.

I cried when my midwife discharged me. She was the one who did the pregnancy test when I first found out I was preg, then looked after me all the way thru, delivered Maya, and then 6 weeks post natal. Ana's right, it is such an intimate time.
A couple of times during my preg I had to see my midwifes partner because my midwife was away, and I was sooo anti! Not that she wasn't just as good, but I had built up a relationship with my own midwife and I got a little possessive...
