I had my booking in appointment this morning!

[kimberleyrobx]

Hello everyone! So i FINALLY got my booking in appointment! And i wasnt the only one who had to wait until their 10th or 11th week for an appointment! I am now 11 weeks although i told my midwife how my cycles are usually 35 days long so she has put me down as in between 10 and 11 weeks
Instead of going away and waiting for a letter to come through the door about my scan date she called the hospital right away and asked for an appointment over the phone as i am already so far gone. My 12 week scan is on the 20th! So exciting!
She took all my details etc and got the blood work done right away as i hate waiting to get them done. I hate waiting! So she stabbed me within a couple minutes of the appointment which i was glad about!
We took nathan with us and she couldnt stop gushing over him, laughing because she was talking to him and he was staring at her with a blank face lol!
She told me that there is a very small chance that i'd be allowed a VBA2C but she said this pregnancy will most likely end in another cesarean section which i was a little gutted about. I went for an elective section with nathan and i now regret it. I wish id tried for a vaginal!
I'm just so glad i have had my booking in appointment and i'll be having my scan in less than two weeks! Woohoo!
Oh and my due date has changed. According to my LMP i'd of been due July 30th but because my cycles are 5 weeks long and i think i ovulated late she has given me August 6th! Anyone else due around this time? I'm so excited now!

Ive got my booking appt on tuesday, quite a bit earlier then your but I need to get her to sort me out a scan in the next week or so to check a third sack is empty and then book me in for my 12 week!

Im unsure of what to expect this time because with my first I saw a different mw at the start of my pregnancy and she came to my home, whereas this time I have to go to my doctors surgery, im taking my LO with us too because its the same midwife I had throughout 2nd and 3rd tri so it'd be nice for her to see her hard work

 

[princess_1991]

Oh and im due 22nd august but they probably wont let us go past the 8th with the twins

Congratulations on having twins! There is only one or two midwives in my local area that covers our town and towns around us so she is a very busy lady! With emily and nathan, it was usually the substitute midwife that saw me because my midwife Linda was always out on an emergency appointment or something! A very big baby boom has happened the last couple of years so she has been on her toes the whole time! I hope she is with me all through mine, just have to wait and see! xx

Our midwives never come out to our homes for the booking in appointment! Usually if we are overdue or expecting a sweep is the only time she comes to our houses! All through the pregnancy with every appointment us women are always down at the surgery, its a pain in the ass especially in the third trimester when she see's us every week! xx

Yeah totally know what you mean! Luckily for us our surgery is just round the corner which is a good thing considering my last labour left me paralysed in one leg!

I only had a different mw because I moved areas, my mw is quite good a not taking holidays and is usually not busy

I think in scotland its like one midwife to 6 towns thats what it feels like!
Oh how did that happen? Ive never heard of labour paralyzing someone!
My surgery is a half hour walk away, so at least i have done my exercise for today! Feeling fitter already... NOT xx

Oh lucky you! I was due August 15th with emily but she didnt come out till the 21st!
The same here, although luckily i haven't had any morning sickness with any of my pregnancies although that doesnt stop my stomach from constantly churning all day long! My nose is blocked but i can smell EVERYTHING! My stomach is always upset and i am always hungry! I was back at college yesterday and everyone thought i'd lost weight i was like all ive done is snack snack snack! Heartburn creeps up on me several times a day, my hormonal mood swings and ridiculous and i am constantly tired! I am craving macdonalds double cheese burgers right now... mmmm

It is really exciting eh? I cant wait for mine!

Whats everyone hoping for? Im secretly hoping for another girl but i wouldnt mind either way xx

I've got it in my head already that I'm having a boy! Only because my mum, sister and brother all had boys first! I'm not sure what I'd prefer..

Haha! Everyone in my dads side of family all had girls first! So i was really excited when emily was a girl

Any names planned out? I have nothing for a boy, but since before we found out we were having a boy i wanted a girl named emma
I think Emily & Emma goes really well together, similar! IDK, we will see when the time comes xx

I was put into stirrups and just left, was in them for about 2 hours, with epidural so legs were heavy and couldnt feel anything, so the pressure caused nerve compression on the sciatic nerve and I ended up paralysed in my one leg!

Oh my god that's ridiculous! Did you complain? My OH had a lumber puncture a couple weeks ago, the nurse doing it accidently hit a nerve and left his right leg numb and unable to move for a couple hours! Now he is still complaining of leg pain and is comparing himself to Hugh Laurie in House xx
