Such a shame you didnt get to hear the heartbeat
I even asked and they just said its just varies, but she couldnt really say why.
My little jelly bean was was wriggling about loads, but she eventually got it
They still want me to have the glucose test, which I think is a waste, but he ho x
Thats good that they done it for you as it does sound like its not nhs guidelines anymore at least the appointment wasnt a waste of time for your oh, glad my fella didnt take any time off to come today, the mw I seen today said they start doing it from 25 week appointment now so at least Ill get to hear it then, the glucose test hasnt even been mentioned to me! X
I was almost wanting her to say that, but it was like she didnt want to or really didnt know. I had a student midwife but my main mw was there just confirming what she said
Is it just me or do some of you get a bit overwhelmed with all the tests and when we should have them - Ive already forgotten what was said about the flu jab and the other one think I will just ring up my mw people tomorrow and slowly go through what I should be doing
Oh no the glucose test is because my half brother has diabetes, but its not on my mums side, its my mums ex husband, so as much as they said to have it, I actually think its a waste of nhs time, so when it comes to booking it in, I will decline. My side of my family are all fit and healthy and my oh and I especially, so I am pretty confident I am safe in saying no x
Yeah Im losing the plot with what we are supposed to be doing and when ha ha, I completely forgot to book the flu and whooping cough injection on my way out the doctors today, but at least I got the nhs exemption certificate thing for dental and prescriptions out of todays appointment anyway, there was a few questions I wanted to ask the midwife but didnt end up asking, felt a bit like they just wanted me in and out, didnt ask how I had been or anything, Im finding the appointments a bit of a let down!
Yeah If hes not blood related to you it wont increase your chances of diabetes, it sounds a bit grim that glucose test id be avoiding it too ha ha x
Exactly what i did as well, put my form in and walked out the door. When we got home i said to the oh 'wasnt i meant to book my flu jab' so annoying! So i will call and do that today. Also, isnt the whooping cough after 20 something weeks? and do we get that at the hospital or the GP? Ideally i would want both together but its getting to the flu season so i want to get covered asap.
I think its so bad the way your appointment went, its enough not getting to hear your babys heart beat, but when they just want you in and out so quickly it makes you feel a bit pushed aside
Yea exactly and i said that to them, about it being horrible not that it would stop me from having it, if i did really need it, but to me its just not necessary and a waste of their time which can be better spent elsewhere on someone who really needs the time spent on them.
Now its the count down to our gender scans
