Where I live the midwife comes out to the gp's office one day a week so I went there. Give your midwife's office a call and get that appointment sorted. Can't believe nobody told you

Yes you have a 16 week appointment with the midwife. I also saw a midwife after my 12 week scan and she told me to make the appointment for 16 weeks
Did you get your pregnancy notes book (green or blue)? Mine says the weeks on there when you see your midwife

Pregnancy notes book? I have a white book, with stuff in it?! Do I need to be contacting my midwife then, or does she contact me?
I'm 17 weeks now, and had no idea I needed an appointment!

Does it have your details in it, and then did the midwife write stuff in it? That should be your pregnancy notes then.
I'd just make an appointment. She'll check your bp etc and you get to hear the heartbeat.

I haven't seen the midwife since I found out I was pregnant! I have no idea if she's written anything in my book, but the nurses etc have from the 12 week scan, so that must be it. I'll give her a call and find out. Is it a home visit?

They should have done a booking in visit with you! I would call them today and see what there playing at! x

I'm a bit peed off! Should I call the midwife direct then? Don't know who/what her office is. I could either call her or the GP surgery, they are the only numbers she's given me. I had no idea about any of this
Good job you ladies are here!

 

[pebbie1]

Give her a call and ask her how to get this appointment sorted. If she doesn't answer, just call your GP and see if they know.
So you didn't see a midwife after your 12 week scan?

Nope, I have seen her only once, and that was at the very beginning of my pregnancy, when I first found out?!

 

[pebbie1]

Give her a call. Let us know what they said!

 

[CLH_X3]

I also had a 16 week app, there at the health centre by me so not my GPS office, you book your next app straight after the one you just have by me

I don't have another one til 28 weeks as this is my second! So 25th feb, I also have to have it in the 28th week and not before as il be having the anti d

 

[pebbie1]

To give you some guidance, this is what it says on my book.

[Little Ducky]

Thanks Pebbie, thats definitely not on my book! I'll give her a call on my lunch break and see what went wrong. I'll update you later x

CLH your list looks like similer to mine, I'll upload a pic

Even tho I have had two kids already there sticking to the left side of the list because its a new scheme there doing, the midwives are from your area rather than your doctors if that makes sence, I have to see my midwife at the local nursery centre or she comes to my home she doesn't go to doctors surgery x

I dont think I had them with my daughter until right at the end in third tri. I had one in work last week and my tummy was rock hard! Very uncomfortable.
Your bump is growing really nicely! Mine just fell out lol but then I never was as slim as you were at the start lol

 

[charbaby]

I never had braxton hicks with either of my previous pregnancys but after my daughter I had really bad after pains! am really dreading it this time cus apparently they get worse the more kids you have :/

 

[pebbie1]

Yeah what's all that about? I read about after pains. I can't remember any pain after birth apart from my stitches (ouch), but I read as well that after pains can be loads more after second and upwards time labour? What does that feel like and when do you have it?

I never had any with my first but after daughter it was horrible! They felt like contractions, like being back in labour! Mine started the day after I had her and lasted for about 2-3 days. Stock up well with painkillers I defo will be this time as 3rd baby so expecting them to be even worse

 

[pebbie1]

Oh my.... I read from a lot of women that after pains are really bad. Dreading that as well!! And also dreading having stitches again. Had an episiotomy, which was fine by me, but my oh my, trying to pee with stitches down there had me in tears!!!
Anything else you're dreading?

I had episiotomy with my first because had to have forceps delivery, so had aload of stitches then with my daughter they let me tear so I had stitches again!! The best thing I found was to stand in the shower with the water coming out super fast!! then wee (bit grose lol ) but defo worth while because the stingy is so bad. so thats prob what i am dreading most! bet i wont escape stitches after having them with first 2 x

 

[pebbie1]

Hahahaha! I ended up in the shower as well. It was THE best way to pee. lol.
