Booking in appointment next Thursday. I know they take bloods and things, anything else I should be aware of before I go?
 
Got mine tomorrow morning I'm quite excited but like you don't have a clue lol x
 
Hi rainbow.nicola, :) At mine they also weighed me :)oooo:), took my height, blood pressure and asked how I was feeling, any swelling feet/hands etc and asked if I had questions. oh and they gave me heaps of reading material! :) x
 
Do you need to give another sample? They gave me a big baby book at my first appt and told me it was my bible.
 
I was asked to take along a urine sample (first i had given) and they took some blood to send for tests, yeah think i got that book too! :) x
 
I had bloods taken, gave a urine sample in a bottle with powder, height , weight, blood pressure, went over family history, allergies, past illnesses, general health etc and ask where you might like to give birth , going through what to avoid, what to take, x
 
They did the food thing and where to give birth at my first appointment, was a bit overwhelming since I didn't think about it what so ever. haha!
 
Where I am we only get one appt which lasts an hour or so
I won't see the mw again until 16 weeks now x
 
When I found out I was they asked me to go down to the doctors to give in a sample, once that came through the receptionist phoned me to confirm results and asked me whether I would like to see the doctor or MW (She attends my doctors once a week). When I went to see MW she just told me what I wasn't allowed, gave me prescription for Folic and gave me leaflets, my book and maternity notes. She also made my booking appt for me, asked where I would like to give birth, told me I'd get a Carbon test and since then I had a letter for my scan appt. So this will be my first appt at the hospital.
