Morning All,

I had my fist docs appoitment yesterday, and funnily enough it was with a heavily pregnant Doc who looked to be in her 40's , so that gave me a bit of a boost about my age ( 37)

Anyway, me EDD is 14th APril - so if poss can i please have it changed on the list, as it currently says 12th? no worries if not!

I was really surprised that she didn'd do a test or any examinations? just asked if i had a positive hpt result - and i said yes, 4! to which she said that I am definitley preggers!

Anyway, I gave her all my medical history - which is rather complex and could fill a book in itself! So next step is to wait for the mid-wife to call me? does that mean that the mid wife will do all the tests etc?

also, I will be having hospital led care as opposed to community led care due to my risk factors - but I've still not to expect a scan until 12 weeks! I was really hoping to get one earlier.

If i wanted to get an earlier scan, how do i go about it, and what info can it provide? ( I'm uk based)

Any feedback appreciated!!

ps. I feel utterly exhausted! And as if i have a really bad hangover ......

xx

Smeej, I'm seeing my GP this afternoon, but only 'cause the snotty receptionist wouldn't let me refer myself to the midwifery unit! Doctors don't tend to give you an examination or test to confirm your pregnancy - they just go by your HPT. I remember thinking that was a bit odd - with my son, I had the NF scan at 12 weeks, and that was the first time other than my HPT's that I'd had my pregnancy confirmed by anyone else! What makes you high risk, if you don't mind me asking?

How's everyone else today?

 

[madcatwoman]

hello everyone

i feel like a newbie again after TTC. I got my BFP a few days ago, had my docs appointment today to confirm pregnancy, Im due on April 21st (my sisters birthday). I have a midwife appointment next week on tuesday(what can i expect from that??).

This is my first so its all new territory to me

hey, thanks for the info!

may I ask what NF means? sorry - I am just all new to this !

I'm high risk due to a medical condition I have - I have an anti-body that has a small risk of causing congenital heart block in the baby - which means i'll need to be closely monitored from 5 months - I also have to take medication due to condition which also carries risks - so therefore it all scares the living daylights out of me, as even if I ( fxd) make it to the 3 month hurdle - It will be an ongoing waiting game to see if everything works out ok

All these issues have been heavily discussed with my doctors, so we are all aware of it - and DH and I desperately want a happy, healthy baba

Its rough sometimes. I agree. I have had 3 mcs and I spend a lot of time worrying rather than just enjoying the fact I am pregnant now. We will get through it.

NF - the Nuchal Fold scan. It's an untrasound where they measure how much fluid is at the back of the baby's neck, and based on this measurement, they make a calculation on the risk that your baby has Downs Syndrome. I'm not sure if they offer this in all areas though...?

I think you can get a wellbeing/early pregnancy reassurance scan at a few places around the UK if you're willing to pay - I don't think they're uber expensive. We went to BabyBond and had a 3d scan when I was about 29 weeks pregnant with my son, and I'm pretty sure they do early pregnancy scans too.

Sorry to hear things are a bit complicated for you hun, I'm sure everything will be fine though xx

 

[reedsgirl1138]
