Had midwife this morning and everything is great measuring 25wks, baby has a strong heartbeat and she has no concerns. She was running an hour late though wasn't too impressed as I had to try and entertain DD while we waited x

Wow Im suprised you had a 25 week midwife appointment, where I am from (surrey) my last midwife appointment was at 16 weeks and I dont have another one untill 28 weeks as its my 2nd xx

That seems like such a long time to wait! My appointments are once a month until 3rd trimester and then every other week until... 36 weeks I think then its once a week.
 
Same with my midwives. I go every 4 weeks up until 28 weeks/29 weeks, twice a week after that until I think it's 36 weeks, and then once a week after that.
 
I go every 6 weeks until 28 weeks, then every 4 weeks until 36 weeks, then every 2 weeks until 40 weeks. Then after that I'll be seen once a week until delivery.

Yes, I actually made it to my 41 week appointment last pregnancy. Hoping that doesn't happen again this time!
 
As it's my second my MW appts have been 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 20 weeks, 22 weeks, then 28 weeks. Think maybe only one official one after that. It's about half the amount of first pregnancy!

I follow the same appointment schedule. Although my 28 week one will be with my OB, but my regular Dr. will continue my care until the baby is born. I am really hoping for an epidural this time....so maybe my OB can help with that!
 
Ive had an appointment at 6 (I was vomiting pretty bad) 9 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 20 weeks, 24 weeks and my next is at 28 weeks (this is being combined with my glucose test and more bloodwork for third tri)
 
I had mw at 16, and 22weeks, next one is 28 weeks along with my whooping cough vaccine, after that its either 32 or 34 weeks , i need to speak to her about carpal tunnel as im in agony with my wrist and hand atm!
 
Here they do appointments every 4 weeks & then I believe once you're in the 2nd tri they switch to every 2 weeks. Unless you're high risk the clinic I go to doesn't do many scans they do one to estimate when you're due usually won't take you before 8 weeks. Then gender scan at 20 weeks & then they do a 4d around 33weeks.
 
This is my 4th pregnancy but 3rd successful one, I had MW at 8wks,16wks (but had my appointment at 18wks),24wks (but I was 25wks) then I will have another at 28wks and then I can't remember.

My midwife is the same one I have had with all my pregnancies and she was telling me that they have changed the guidelines and they haven't got to listen for a heartbeat until 36wks as long as the lady has fetal movement but because she was feeling nice she had a listen. Can you imagen having to wait until 36wks to hear your baby's heartbeat?!x
 
Yep same here in new Zealand too; monthly until 28/29 weeks ish, then fortnightly till 36 week-ish, then weekly. Last time I went 17 days overdue and by then I was seeing my midwife every-other-day to have ctg monitoring done constantly! Lol. I hope I don't go quite so far over this time, but we shall see. :)
 
I actually haven’t heard my babies heartbeat (well I have but it was on a Doppler that I bought myself) my midwife never bothered to check babies heartbeat at my 16 week appointment… I think my midwife is a bit useless :p xx
 
I am yet to hear my baby's heartbeat as well! My midwife never asks me or mentions it. She just asks if i have felt movement, which i do feel ALOT! .. Kobey is also starting to explore my ribs and he likes to bury himself into my left hip! .. He is going to be a stubborn but mischievous baby lol
 
Today, I have an ultrasound and my 22 week midwife appointment. I think I have one more monthly appointment than I start going every 2 weeks.

My scan for today is to check up on a "white spot" they had found at my 20 week ultrasound. The spot was on one of Sophia's heart ventricles, and I guess it's a sign of Down Syndrome. Which I am not really too concerned about, considering, it doesn't run in the family, and Gavin is completely healthy and doesn't have any problems like it. So the fact that I have already had a healthy child, decreases it.

So we will see what they say. Also I have a lot of fluid..which I had with Gavin, so they will just monitor both of them. Which means, that if I still have it today, I probably will go for another ultrasound in a month or so.
 
My nurse and dr both ask every appointment (starting at 16 weeks) if I feel baby and the dr pulls out the Doppler even if I say yes. Got to hear the little man again yesterday! Dr says his heart sounds healthy!

Best wishes today on your appointment kitteykat!
 
Appointment went good, clearly I could see a spot on her heart, but that's okay. It could be anything honestly. She is 1 pound, and 1 ounce. We even got to see her in 4D as well. I have another growth scan May 30th :)

I love my doctors/midwives.
 
I'm glad the scan went well today kitteykat.

My boobs have started leaking too, I noticed a few days ago they went really hard and then started aching again like they did at the beginning and then noticed marks in my bra!

I've been feeling so worried the last couple of days, baby usually moves round loads, can see my belly moving around and everything but the past couple of days hardly anything at all. I'm hoping she has just turned around or something.

At my last midwives appointment she worried me, she put the Doppler on and said 'ooh the heartbeat is a bit too fast' she kept it on for a few more mins til it went down then took it off saying it was prob just baby not liking the Doppler but right before she switched it off it went up again so I am a bit worried about that.

On a brighter note, I have finally started baby shopping! We now have a wardrobe full of clothes! Most of them from my first dd but I've bought some new bits too. We now have a Moses basket. And I've stocked up on nappies, some size 1 and then mostly 2s as my first LO was a big baby so expect this one to be too!

I can't believe I only have just over 12 weeks left! (C section will be done at 39 weeks) it's true what they say, second pregnancies definitely fly over!

I am getting SO exited to meet my little baby!!
 
No one has updated in a while. Everything going okay with all you ladies and bumps? .. I feel as though i have sprouted within the last week and o suddenly have a bump! A fair size one at that(or so i reckon anyway lol) hoping this baby isn't going to be big! .. Oh and i am obsessed with junk food! And i crave sour cream and onion Pringles .. Not very healthy at all.

Pringles are buy one get one free at tesco at the minute, I got some last night :)

Only 99days left this pregnancy is going so quick I need to start buying for little man and thinking of a name for him. How's everyone else?x
 
Oh good god I am so glad to hear I am not the only one craving junk at the moment, I have gained 7lbs so far (currently sitting at 9stone7lbs) and I am convinced it is because of all the chocolate I ate from easter last week. Every day I tell myself I am going to not touch chocolate anymore but then slap bam someone will bring cakes into work x
