i have midwife appointment on monday

[violet 73]

for booking in appointment do you think she will feel my stomach or use a doppler ? or do you think she won,t do either . violet xx

Don't think she will use a doppler as the heartbeat is not normally detectable on one until after 12 weeks i believe. She might have a little feel of you tummy, but it wont hurt, she might not, midwives r all different. hope all goes well on monday and dont forget to let us know!!x x x

Dont think a doppler works so early on hun so I wouldnt have thought she would. My 1st appt was all form filling.

thanks ladies i will let you know how i get on , i was kind of hoping she would do something to reasure me , don,t know if im just getting paranoid keep thinking that something is going to go wrong i think its because it took me 26 months to concieve , ive had m/s from 1& a half weeks after i ovulated & have felt sick every day since then but some days are worse than others & i also have sore boobs . violet xx

Hi... i dont think she will use the doppler till after you are 12 weeks... mines didnt get the doppler out till i was 15 weeks in my last pregnancy... Your appointment will probably just filling out forms... she will prob give you a due date and your notes... thats what they do here... and you will probably be weighed... i have my first midwife appointment coming up on wednesday and im dreading being weighed Oh and u will probably get your blood pressure done

Probably won't do either to be honest as you're uterus won't have grown too much by now - probably size of an orange at best! Also a heart beat won't be audible so a doppler's out too. At 7 weeks + a heartbeat could be detected on an ultrasound but NHS don't usually send you for one that early unless there is a medical reason for it being needed. She'll probably take a blood test and urine test and fill in lots of forms. Oh, and check your blood pressure! Good luck!
