Midwife came over today for my home visit, I answered loads of questions, asked her some questions too, she was so lovely. I even talked to her about Pregnancy Forum
I did a urine sample, she tried to get blood off me too but failed, so I have to go to a clinic to have blood taken sometime this week whenever I like. My blood pressure is a bit low but she said it's nothing to worry about and very common in pregnancy. I've got another midwife appointment at 16 weeks pregnant for the downs syndrome test and then my 20 week scan!
She said i'll hear baby's heartbeat at 16 week appointment also, I was fine with that but then I asked her out of curiosity if the baby's heartbeat could be picked up now, to my surprise she then said, "I could give it a try". I lay down on the floor and straight away we could hear baby's heartbeat It was so fast! She moved the doppler to the left side and we could hear my heartbeat, then to the right side baby's heartbeat. She was amazed it was picked up so early. Me, OH, My mum and my sister all smiled and giggled when we heard it, I got teary eyed too!
Good day so far, I'm so pleased and full of relief.
Also, I'm off to Tri2 tomorrow so I'm going to miss you girls!
