First Docs Appt

[Lou12]

Well just got back from my first appointment with doctor... It wasn't what I was expecting. In fact I'm not quite sure what I was expecting - but certainly more than 5 minutes with her (half of which she was filling in a form)! She filled in a referral form which was going to be sent off to get me a midwife; asked if I'd had any symptoms, said yes that's normal... and that was about it.

On a side note I had my first wave of nausea today whilst walking to work which took me be surprise. I sort of stopped, muttered ooh and smiled - then put my hand to my mouth and hoped fervently that I wasn't going to throw up. Thankfully I didn't, and it didn't last more than 10 minutes

My first doctors appointment was pretty much like that, he just booked me in for my midwife appointment and we discussed my medication because i took sleeping meds, which i'm now off. Hopefully the midwife will be more helpful!!


I wish my nausea was like that i have it 24/7!! lol

i dont think there is much doctors can really do except refer to midwife and prescribe folic acid.
did you get a prescription?
and inform you about the free stuff you get like dental care!

i have to see my doc regularly, but i dont think thats 'normal' for pregnancy.

i think my dr spent 5 mins in shock when i told her i was preg lol she said she wasnt expecting me to say that n the only reason i was there for over half an hour was because she had to change quite a few of my medications check my bp phone the midwife and write to the ob/gyn at another hosp ( i live on an island) and ill hae to give birth on the mainland in a consultant run hosp.
