I have a 25 week appointment and this is my 2nd baby

 

[tannembaum]

Oh right, I'll have to check.

 

[lynnikins]

lol i have way to many appointments but in my notes at my booking the MW wrote down what weeks i needed appointments and 24wks was supposed to be a GP one i see MW at 28 then GP at 32 then MW 34, GP 38, MW 40... and well im betting it will be a MW not GP who comes for the home visits after that lol, im also seeing my consultant at 30 wks for a followup of the GTT test i have at 28wks and potentially another appointment after that for a growthscan

 

[tannembaum]

I dont have any of those
Mine are -
booking 8 wks
scan (12 wk)
16 wks
scan (20 wk)
28 wks (GTT)
34 wks
36 wks
38 wks
41 wks


I do have extra consaltant/growth scans at 30, 34 and 38 weeks but they're just extras due to my PE last time.

I've got no gp appts either but I wouldn't go to them for Preg stuff anyway as they're useless enough for illnesses

 

[lynnikins]

yeah the mw's are too busy here so half the appointments are done by GP's to take some of the burden off the MW's was the same with my lst pregnancy

 

[teen_mommy44]

im due dec 28 with my first
its a boy

 

[Nichole]

Had a great appointment this morning. 22 weeks down! The little guy has a nice, strong heartbeat. I have the yucky glucose test next time

 

[mummydeb]

8wks book in
12wk scan
20wk scan
24wks mw
28wks mw
32wks mw
then every fortnight untill birth
thats standard where i am south england.
got to see specialist in between to but thats not standard here only cause complications with dd

 

[tannembaum]

Hmmm wonder why I don't get a 24 week appointment.
I don't see anyone from 16 weeks till 28 weeks which seems like a long time!

morning ladies, i finally took my first bump pic this morning, and its in my journal if you wanna look.


not having a great day to be honest, all started last night with FIL having a right dig at me over the dinner table everything i done was "because she's irish" which really stings as i'm acutally northern irish, its like calling someone from England, Welsh or German, there about that close........ and its really starting to offend me

then OH decided to have a go at me (well he was joking but i took it the wrong way) plus its all gloomy outside


don't you just love hormones

I don't think anyone who isn't from here will ever fully understand the whole Irish, Northern Irish or even British thing for that matter and how sensitive people can be over it. You should have told him to FECK OFF in your best Father Ted accent! Alternatively you should have threatened to knee cap him and just blamed it on being "irish!" lol. xo

 

[lynnikins]

tannenbaum you can always call your MW or GP and book to get the BP and urine check and the Fundal height done.

i would have if i had not been holding back the tears and vomit (i tend the throw up when i get very angry)

i think next time i'm just gonna get up and walk out............ being born in Zimbabwe you think he might have some understanding of how touchy people can be about their brith place being called the wrong name.........


today it is pouring it down, in DOrset standards its flash flooding in NI standards, we best leave the brolly and just wear our coats....... nice to sit and watch and even better theres been thunder and lightening when i was still in bed, love laying in bed listening to the storm.......


the dog and i are parked on the sofa with our blankies and cushions! supposed to be running a few errands today but nothing that cannot wait till later

 

[Jen1802]

Hey girls how are you all? I'm shattered today, was hoping for a lie in but dd had other ideas! The weather is pretty good here...not often you can say that about Northern Ireland!! I'd go out and do something if I could be bothered but I'm far too tired! Hoping dd will want a long nap soon so I can get some sleep too! I'm really missing sleeping on my stomach and have been finding it tough getting to sleep because of that. xox

 

[Pingu]

Afternoon Snowflakes, hope you are well.

I am next seeing the midwife at 25 weeks too. I am in N.Yorkshire x

 

[Tigger79]

25weeks today only 14 to go this isn't my first baby and I saw the consultant at 20 weeks but then no midwife til 28 weeks and then non til 34 weeks it's rubbish! I'm up in Cleveland, north Yorkshire, apparently your not priority if not your first child even tho I was consultant led with all my other pregnancies. Just about finished the nursery today as my other children are at there dads til next week so trying to catch up on some rest.

Hope everyone is well xx

 

[lynnikins]

wow ive been reading some "deep" articles on the internet today my head is totally done in , im so happy the boys have been sleeping all afternoon

 

[mummydeb]

maybe i was wrong and its not standard where i am then maybe because im high risk im seen more often

 

[Jen1802]

I just double checked my next appointment and its the 2nd September and I'll be around 24/25 weeks then, it must just go by what area you live in as this is my second baby. 16 weeks to 28 weeks seems like a ridiculously long time between check up's tannenbaum. xo
