Hi Ladies
Hopefully you'll all find this thread as they've moved it! I'm going to put a note in the 'TTC' bit to say where it's gone to as I struggled to find it this second time as there is now no link to it in there at all
Well I've had my first midwife appointment. All went well and I do feel a bit reassured now
It was my main midwife and a student came with her too, both were really nice. Went through some paperwork first, ie family histories, my general health etc, and been given my maternity pack which is exciting
Got quite a bit to read now
They then took some blood to test for a few things (I went a bit woozy again and needed a drink of water
- this time think was because the needle was in my arm quite a while as she took quite a bit of blood!) Then had my blood pressure taken (which was pretty low!) but they did this immediately after taking my blood when I felt woozy so it probably wouldn't have been so low otherwise. They weren't worried about it anyway though and said blood pressure does drop in early pregnancy. Had to then do a urine sample too.
They said it is perfectly fine that I feel so well and 'normal' and that I am lucky. I mentioned what happened to my friend and they just said not to let things like that worry me, though they understand completely why it has. They said I seem perfectly fine and to just be positive and that, chances are, everything is ok. I will get a scan date in the post so just waiting for that now! I don't see midwife again until 13th May (a Friday too!), which will be after my scan (should be anyway!)
So basically all seems fine and I am just to contact GP at mo if I have any problems. Kim, I mentioned the 'movement sensation' I had yesterday and they were not at all concerned, said it was probably my womb shifting!
So all good. How is everyone else? x
