I got to hear the heartbeat again

I did think they would measure the fundal height, but the mw didn't. It was just another short meeting. She gave me a blood form for tests before my anti-d injection and before I see her again.

Cool thanks Girlies I'll keep u posted b nice to hear h/b again it's the best sound ever xx

 

[Sproglett]

[Heather_belle]

Got to hear baby yippee!!! And got bp and urine tested all good. Got measured too was at the smaller end of scale but still within normal limits. I also got some bloods taken as I have polycystic kidneys so just to check my kidney function. So far so good lol!!! xxx
