Hi ladies,
I have my first appointment with the midwife next wednesday, ill be 10 weeks and 3 days - I am just wondering what all will happen at the appointment (im in Northern Ireland if that makes a difference)? I have heard that they do a smear test at the appointment but I had one done in April so Im not sure if that will make a difference - I was told after that one that I dont need to have it repeated for 3 years.
I am hoping that I will have a scan so that I can see him/her for the first time although Ill probably ball my eyes out!
Hi Hun, congrats! Your booking appointments is for your midwife you get to know you- family medical history etc, she will do a blood and blood pressure check And urine check to check for diseases such as kidney disorders etc. She will probably ask some personal questions about previous births/miscarriages/abortions and about your lifestyle but don't be shocked if she does and answer as best you can. She will probably tell you about exercises you can do and about taking folic acid.
Thanks, I have been taking pregnacare conception when we were trying and then I switched onto pregnacare original when I found out so I am all good there.
I dont have anything to hide and this is my first pregnancy so that part should be easy.
My husband told me a couple of days ago that a girl in his work had a missed miscarriage and only found out at her scan so now I am dreading something like that happening to me. I know that I shouldnt worry but I cant help it
