20+6 too early to issue MATB1?
Hi there
I just wondered when the midwife can issue the MATB1 form. I have an appointment with her when I will be 20+6. Do you need to be 21 weeks? Some guidance seems to suggest 20 weeks and others seem to say at least 21 weeks. My midwife appointment will only be a few days after my 20 week scan (don't know if this makes any difference). I'm want to get the form as early as possible as I could do with submitting it to my employer asap but can only get appointments with my midwife at 20+6 or 22+6.
Thanks girls! x

i definitely had mine around then as I had to get it into my employer by the 15th week before my due date....
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Maybe ring and see if she can write it for you and leave it at reception for you to pick up? That's what mine did as i wasn't seeing her until 28 weeks (having last seen her at 10!!?!).

"do not fill this in more than 20 weeks before the week when the baby is expected"
So i dont see why you wouldnt be able to have it at 20+6.
