The common questions below will help you get the most out of your first visit to your midwife...
How much experience do you have?

How many appointments will we have?
Be sure to ask your midwife how many appointments they will need you to attend and see how flexible they are with appointment times so you know how far in advance you need to book. You are likely to have some questions and concerns in between visits so ask how these will be dealt with and whether you can contact them if you need to.
