That is shocking. I'm lucky my Dr asked where I wanted to have the baby and did the referral up at 5 weeks and then the hospital sent out a booklet of information and appointment for around 14 weeks, I'm doing shared care only because sitting at the hospital for appointments can take hours and I'm still working so I need to limit the time off for appointments. I see my Dr once a month up to 28 weeks and then fortnightly after that until 35 weeks then back to the hospital for 36 to 40 weeks.
