Was in a rush at my 28 week app so forgot to ask for it. Work know am still waiting to get one and seem fine with it but i finish for mat leave in 2 weeks.

Does it have to come from a mw or can i get from my gp? And if mw, is a community team so apps hard to come by, so should i go up to maternity ward at hosp and get done there or do you think they would see me locally just to sign and give me the form if i went at the beginning or end of their appointment day?

I would call the community midwives office, they may do one for you just to go in and pick up. I think it has to come from the mw not your gp x

Maybe its dif here but I got mine from my GP. He filled it out wrong and I asked MW for a new one the next week and my MWs cant issue them anymore. Even if your MWs do issue them I see no reason why your GP couldnt also? When I went to ask for it to be amended I just brought it to receptionist desk and she took my details and I collected the correct one the next day- didnt even physically see a GP.

I phoned my GP office and asked to speak to the MW (on the day I knew she would be in) and asked if she could fill out my MATB1 form and I picked it up from the GP reception on my way home from work.

Just give your GP a call, say to the receptionist your at work and cant get it until such and such and you just need your MATB1 form

Thanks ladies,

Will give the community midwife team a call tomoz and arrange to pick it up from where they tell me to.

thanks,

My work wanted docs stamp on it too, so might be worth getting that on while you there.
