Everything is fine
They checked my BP (machine really hurt my arm and was palying up so had to do it twice) which was slightly lower than last time but nothing to worry about, and they listened to the babys heartbeat which she said was lovely and strong, but I apparently took the fun out of it for her when I told her I heard it a fortnight ago and pointed to where I thought the baby was - as soon as she put the doppler there she got it)
When they weighed me I have only put on half a pound which means I have lost weight as I had put on a pound at 12 weeks. I honestly thought I'd have put on more than that as Ive gained around 5 inches on my belly
Also the midwife was confused as to why they had done one of the blood tests, they tested my ferritin levels which she reckons they only do if iron levels are low and apparently mine werent. Ive got all the figures but I have no idea what they all mean or what levels they should be etc
