The Saga continues.....
I've known I was pregnant since I was 7 weeks.....waited 3 weeks on my first midwife appointment, which was useless as she took one look at my medical history (severe asthmatic) and referred me to the Queen Mother's in Glasgow. She didn't touch me, no bloods, no sample, not even a prod of my tummy.
So now, I have to wait until i'm 16 weeks (i'm 14 weeks on Monday) for my first appointment at the Queen Mum's!!!
I've been feeling extra tired this week, so I'm going to go to my GP's drop-in blood clinic on Monday and ask them to check my iron levels.
What I would like to know is, can the practice nurse order a CUBS blood test for me? To check hormone levels and Down's Risk?
Any advice would be much appreciated as I am in total pregnancy limbo!!
