I've not heard back from mine either I wish she would text me an appointment even if it is in a couple of weeks at least I could plan for it! and be excited for it!!

Just a few pages to catch up on here then

My midwife appointment is tomorrow, I'm so excited I don't think I'll sleep properly tonight! My sister in law had the same midwife with my niece and she let her hear the heartbeat when she was 6 weeks. I hope she does the same for me - that would definitely put my mind at ease eee this is all starting to feel real now, I actually have a tiny human being growing inside of me!

She weighed me and took my blood pressure, is faxing all the stuff over to antenatal care, I have to ring for my midwife appointment in a couple of days, and she is arranging for me to have an early scan to check everything is ok.

Very happy!!!

Fab news

My midwife still hasnt got back to me, don't know how long to leave it before i chase her up. I've got loads I want to ask her too especially about my thyroxine, worried i might not be on correct dose anymore. Not sure if i'm meant to see her before the hosp appointment next week.

Ring her honey, she wont mind, at all xxx

 

[moggi]

I'll give her till tomorrow and if i havent heard anything by the afternoon i'll ring her then

 

[gypsy1981]

Well I didn't get to hear the heartbeat

It went well though, she took a lot of blood, a urine sample, blood pressure, weight, height, BMI, gave me a carbon monoxide test and a big thick information pack to read through with a book called 'the pregnancy book' which covers pretty much everything you need to know!

She said I'll get a scan date in the post but it'll be some time between 10 and 14 weeks so anywhere between 26th oct and 23rd nov. I'm hoping for October

I'm exhausted now, she took about 5 tubes of blood and it's really left me drained.

Is anyone else opting for the downs syndrome tests? She said they can diagnose 90% of downs syndrome cases from the 12 week scan and a blood test but it's optional whether you find out the result or not. I said I wanted to know - not sure what I'd do if it was positive but I would rather know than not know.

 

[BrandysBabies]

I didnt find out with either of my previous pregnancies. I would not terminate regardless and there is a HUGE false positive issue with that test. If it comes back high risk, then they will want to do an amnio which I would not be willing to do either. They will more than likely be able to tell by scans in late pregnancy whether the baby has developed downs anyway, so if you aren't even going to consider termination, why set yourself up for possible stress that could turn out to be nothing. Just my thoughts!

I am so glad your appt went so well. Sorry it wore you out and that you didnt get to hear HB. It might be a little too early still anyway. Good luck on getting an early scan date!!

 

[minidancer]

I agree with brandy, I didnt get it done last time as I know they class 1 in 100 as high risk but that is still only a 1% chance. I have also heard of people being given a much higher risk number and gone on to have a perfectly healthy baby. I just don't want the worry. Glad your appointment went well, hope you feel better soon, drink plenty water and have an early night xx
