2012 Bump Buddies - The Watermelon Smugglers

[purplelilly]

Hey girls! Just made my first appointment with the midwife. 15th November..and I'll be almost 7 weeks. I'm excited. I'm all "bring on the information!" though I'm sure when I go I'll be all "too. Much. Information. Overwhelmed. Must. Take. Nap."

I think most of you guys have already had that first appointment. Did you find it helpful? Also... Should I bring DH? Or does he not really need to be there for this one?

i'm not alot of help as my old doc messed up all of my early appts and i did everything out of order but from what i hear it's supposed to be like the other ladies in here. GL with your appt.!
My DH can't really make it to any of my appts since one of us always has to be at the shop to run things but we've made arraingements for help to come in for the 20wk ultrasound/appt. That's why i got a doppler just to keep him in the loop.

AFM--This week marks the first week DH started patting/holding my belly now that he knows where Cad is from doppler time It's sooo sweet!

i love when they cuddle ur belly.

Amber, I'm keeping everything crossed for you hunni

Jess, glad you've made it back to your own house without killing anyone

I had my first midwife appointment today It went really well, I like the midwife - Jo - a lot, she was really friendly, explained everything very clearly and even managed to get my vein for the bloods first time (no one apart from the blood service ever manages that!)
I had an extra vial of blood taken to test my glucose levels as diabetes runs on both sides of my family and my bmi was - ah hem - a "bit" high
I've been put under consultant care as I have a few high risk factors, not entirely sure what that will entail but Jo told me that if I have any questions then to feel free to ring or text her whenever I want.
Oh, also, she said that if I have any problems with my back (damaged it quite badly....Okay, I broke it in two places....in a motorbike accident) then to contact her straight away and she'll arrange for Physiotherapy for me! She also asked lots of questions about my M.E. (another risk factor hence the consultant care) which highly impressed me as medical personnel tend to either disbelieve in the condition or think it's just "a bit of tiredness".
So, yeah, my booking in appt went really well!

Oh! And today I'm a Raspberry also

[purplelilly]

jess --congrats on getting home without needing bail $ lol! And huge YAYAYAYAY to the new fruit! (I change over with you tomarrow jess)

Kate-- Glad to hear your appt went so well. Nothing beats having a doctor that you like! It took a couple trys for me but when i found the one who checked for the hb at 9wks and described it as "an engine tick" I knew i found the one,lol

Louise-- It is SOOO cute when they show that kind of excitement! My DH never really wanted kids (really just scared of messing up a kid) so getting here has been a loonnggg ride! Just seeing his excitement, interest, and wonder melts my heart! He hasn't started talking to Cad yet but i think as i start showing more and we know boy/girl then it'll start. 3wks 2days!!

my doc told me it depends on the woman and alot on your natural pigment. I am pastey white with red hair with freckles & aqua eyes so my doc said basically my pigment is all over the place but i probably wont get it (but get to enjoy preggo blotches connecting my freckles) At least it'll go away!

 

[purplelilly]
