16 week appointment

[lynz]

well tomorrow i have my 16 week check. i am so excited as i get to listen to the heartbeat, they dont try listening at twelve weeks apparently as it can be difficult to find and makes people worry. i am also having the down syndrome screening tomorrow i decided to have it as it is only a blood test. is there anything else i should be expecting at my 16 week appointment???

I didn't get to listen to the heartbeat at 16 weeks! You're lucky!

At my 16wk appointment I got a test for HIV, one for blood group, one for sickle cell and my triple test. They lost all my results though, so god knows if theres anything wrong with me! lol

She asked me if Id felt baby moving yet. At the time I hadn't so she used the doppler, but I think if you feel the movements then they might not. I dont know.

I guess it differs wherever you go though.

Good luck - I can't wait for my 16 week appointment. Seems like ages since my scan and think I must be the most paranoid person ever!!!!
Let us know how it goes and what happens xx xx

Good luck! They tried to listen to the heartbeat at my 13 week appointment and had a hard time finding it! It can be very very worrying!! I have my 17th week appointment on Wednesday!

everyone just got back from my appointment. Midwife said everything was ok, had the triple test and listened to the heartbeat. I was a bit worried as she couldnt find it straight away but it was there-loud and strong

That's great news! So glad everything went well. Can I ask if you had the screening test (AFP) xx xx

 

[lynz]

i have had all the tests offered as long as it hasn't been more than a blood test. i had the down syndrome screening today got to wait two weeks for the results i had the hiv and all the others at my twelve week appointment

 

[debralouise]

Thanks I just wondered how long it took for the results to come back - I'm just a worrier that's all. Got my appointment next Monday so having my tests then.

PS What's your due date?
