Monthly visits until 30weeks, fortnightly visits until 36 weeks, weekly visits until birth. After birth everyday for 10 days, once a week for 6 weeks. We had some medical issues with baby after birth (3 weeks after) midwife supported us by coming to the hospital for hours on end.
* How many pre & post natal visits and their duration
Written above. Most visits at least an hour usually longer.
* Were they in your home or in an office?
Always in my home.
* Was it worth the cost?
