Next week I have an appointment for preconception advice/counselling. It's mostly going to be related to my Sjogren's syndrome and vasculitis and the extra checks that will need to be done on the baby's heart, but I'm sure there will be more general stuff in there too.
I'm not really sure what to expect re length of appointment etc, hoping it'll be a decent length, though I can guarantee I'll forget to ask something, I always do!
I'm going to see an obstetrician for this, and I'm really nervous. He's apparently lovely, and really good - several of my medically qualified colleagues have been his patients, so if he is as good and as nice as everyone says, I'd like him to be my actual obstetrician when the time comes, as I'll need to be consultant-led rather than midwife-led, unless something spectacular happens and I have a permanent remission (not flippin' likely
)!
It's just making it so much more real to me that soon we'll be TTC, after all this waiting and all the setbacks and worries we've had over the last few years. Wonderful and terrifying all at once!

We are so close, this is the last step before we can get this show on the road! Fingers crossed for nothing but GOOD news!
