I know right?! I’ve downloaded the app and they give me a password at my booking in appointment. I actually copied my green notes before I had my little boy cos I knew they took them when you are in labour. Hopefully there’s a way to print a copy from the app, i’d Like to keep them like I have my others xxx sounds a bit sad I know!

I was gutted they “stole” my maternity notes when I had my daughter, I wanted to keep them too (maybe we’re the only weird ones!!) what is the app called? Is this just England actually? I’m in Wales, sometimes we’re behind the times, hahahahaha!

 

[Mummy2Corban]

An app???? Is that a real thing? What’s wrong with good old pen and paper???

My sickness and nausea has been horrendous today..... I really struggle with the 1st trimester....

Hey noodle!

Baby bump I know it’s frustrating to wait... 12 weeks seems so far away. Would you pay for a scan or just go to the drs and ask?

Uk ladies has anyone made there booking in appointment?

Other ladies what’s your plan? We have a booking in, dating scan then around a 16 week appointment with the midwife x

I may try and push my luck and see what my GP says first ! We should be offered a scan earlier than 12 weeks anyway it’s a bit silly I think !

I’m waiting for my local maternity unit to give me a call back to arrange my booking appointment usually after 8 weeks, then a 12 week scan we are opting for the Down’s syndrome screening test too , then 16 week midwife appointment .

 

[Babybump87]

In my area they are still giving out hand held maternity notes ?

I was at the GP last week and seen a few ladies with them

I had my scan last Friday and everything looks good and same EDD as I calculated myself, June 3rd. I was very relieved to only have one baby in there. I have been worried about twins since my first draw had very high level of progesterone.
I will be getting the genetic test at 10 weeks since I'm over 35. I can't believe that is already scheduled for 11/7/18 so I will know the gender soon too!

 

[sarah34]

The app is called maternity notes on App Store.

I get it but I liked carrying the little folder in with the green notes! Lol I am in England, maybe it’s just certain counties as I have moved counties since having my son xx

 

[helensamantha]

Gosh that app has terrible reviews!!! Can you refuse and demand good old fashioned paper?! Haha

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Other ladies what’s your plan?

So, I've already made a prenatal appt with my Dr for Oct 23. I guess I'll be getting requisitions for blood work and a scan. Once I book them and everything's confirmed viable, then I guess it's be time to slowly start getting things ready. I also sent in an application to a local midwife clinic. Really hoping I can get in with them this time. If I end up with an OB again, I think I'm just gonna say F it and have the baby by myself at home. lol

 

[MissCassie]

Did anyone have gestational diabetes in their last pregnancy and have it again in their next pregnancy?

I had gd last time and hoping to not get it this time around.

 

[Babybump87]

Wow that app looks truly awful . I hope I don’t need to use it!

My main concern is what if you need to go to the maternity unit in an amergency and they cannot get the system to work ! Why does everything need to be computer based ! Don’t fix what’s not broken !

 

[sarah34]

Gosh that app has terrible reviews!!! Can you refuse and demand good old fashioned paper?! Haha

I don’t think I can refuse but I am going to mention the bad reviews at my next appointment and tell them I would prefer paper notes. The reviews do say that it all relies on the mw updating the system so fingers crossed I get a mw who is good at admin!!

I also don’t get why they have to fill them out for me at an hour long appointment either. Last time I filled majority out myself before the appointment and then just had a 20/30 min appointment for booking in.

 

[Babybump87]

Which part of the country are you ladies in who have been given the online notes ? Wondering if it’s just certain places until it gets rolled out nationally ?. Im going to ask for paper notes so thanks for the heads up !

Sarah hope your midwife lets you switch back to paper! Should be optional really .

 

[Babybump87]

I’ve got my booking in appointment for 1 November not long to wait ! Will be exactly 7 weeks then .

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Okay, USA native here.... I'm wondering what you ladies are going on about with the notes versus the app? Did you have to tote around your own medical records or something??

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

@BellaRosa8302 Usa here too and I was wondering the same thing...

AFM - I am home sick today. I work in an office with a lot of people and they were passing around some kind of bug and well I may have been the last one to get it but it got me finally UGH! The headache... I feel like I was hit by a brick. I did however get to sleep 11 hours so that was great but now I feel weird. LOL Hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[sarah34]

Haha yes, in the uk you are given a set of notes that you take to every midwife appointment. This time I have been told they are going to be on an app.
I am in Lincolnshire babybump x

 

[Babybump87]

Yes , here in the UK you are given a folder with all your maternity notes in which you bring to all your appointments etc .

I’m in the North West, Sarah and not heard of this app until today !. It will annoy me so much if I have to use the app and the midwife isnt up on her tech lol .
