19th march is my scan! seems so far away! 
MW app went well. altho i was very embarrassed about my history and i told a couple of porkies!
the first thing she said was which hosp i am bookd in at (even tho i want another h/b) and i told her i'd prefer another one (the one where i went to epu and a&e) but she said for that i'd have to re-arrange this booking in app, well i couldnt be bothered messing about so i am just down at the same hosp as i was with millie. hopefully i wont need to use it again!
because i'd filled in my notes that iv had chlamydia, she asked about it and i explained i'd had it years ago, thought it had gone but it hadnt and i'd infected my baby last time
so this time she said to arrange another STI test- if its positive i would be classed as high risk and not be allowed a home birth
so iv foned my docs and iv got an appointment for that at 3.30 this afternoon
its negative!
yes i was quite embarrassed when she was asking about my eating disorder and depression (idk why but i was!) i did tell her the eating disorder has completely gone now (porkie number one!) and when she took my bp and blood sample she noticed the SH scars on my arms and altho she said she could see they are very old she still had to write it down. and then she asked me about my drug use in the year 2000 which the GP had written on my referral letter, she asked was it heroin and i told her it wasnt (porkie number two!) iv never injected any drugs so i didnt think it was relevant. i dont usually tell lies but i felt i had to play down things like mental illness and drug abuse coz i'm scared she'll think i'm an unfit mother!
but she did seem very nice and didnt seem to judge me so thats good
and i scored low risk for PND which is excellent
so 29 days until my scan yay!

As for the drug use its a time in your life thats over and you have closed the door on it. Theres no need to open it again and she can see that millie is a lovely little girl and thats all that matters. You are an ace mum.
but because i am pregnant they took a urine sample instead! woop much less uncomfortable!
