Booking in with Midwife tomorow

[JJ Mum]

I have my first midwife appointment tomorow afternoon, so I am a bit scared and very excited about it, I can't believe I am now 10 weeks already! it has gone so fast...

I am hoping she will be able to give me a date for my scan or get me on the list for one, so I can look forward to that too.

The doc said I had to come prepared with my chosen hospital in mind so she can fill in the right forms, as we dont have one where I live. I am going with Royal Berks in Reading as I had my last there and the OH knows where to go!
The aftercare was a bit poo, but they did a great OP and stitching up job from my section so that's the bit that counts.

Good luck tomoz! I had my booking in already (rush job because of my history) and all was good except I'm not good with needles or blood so I ended up passed out on my sofa when mw took bloods (she did booking in at home with me).

 

[JJ Mum]

oh god, I forgot all about the blood tests, how many did tubes of it did she take in the booking in?

 

[MrsR]

She took 5 tubes! I looked at her like she was mad! Lol

Good luck! Mine won't be till 10 weeks either so seems ages away! Let us know how you got on xx

Well I had the apointment today, went well, it was a stand in midwife ,but she was lovely
Took three tubes of blood - phew and took my blood pressure
Filled out my notes for the chosen hospital, will be consultant led rather than midwife due to my many sections.

I didn't get my scan date, a copy of my new notes gets posted to the hospital and then I have to wait 5 working days to allow them to arrive before ringing a tel number to book a scan, if they don't arrive I have to wait longer apparently, so fingers crossed the post arrives quickly, and I will call them next thursday- I am desperate for a date , once I have a good scan I can tell the kids the news, I'm busting to tell them!

The midwife changed my due date from 29th Sept to 26th Sept, yayyy but I think I may wait till the scan to change my ticker just incase, nothing like taking days back!

I should have taken a carrier bag etc, as she gave me so much paperwork, books, emmas Diary, and folder that had large "Pregnancy pack" written all over it, and I had to take my coat off and cover it all up on the way home to stop everyone and the neighbours seeing!!!
