What's this appointment for?

[Jayjay027]

Hey ladies.

I'm not sure how it works in other areas, but here, I'm low risk so I'm under what's called shared care. This means that all my mw appt are at my docs surgery and the only reason I have been to hospital so far is for scans.

But I have a hospital appt on 30th May, I'll be around 30wks. I saw my mw last week, and will see her again on 14th June when I'll be 32wks, so I'm not entirely sure what the 30wk hospital appt is for??

I'm already booked in for antenatal classes and tour of the delivery suite, so its not that. And I get my bloods done with the mw at my docs.
Anyone know what this hospital appt is for?

I'm not worried about it or anything, just curious x

Are you a rhesus negative blood type? If you are it might be an anti-d injection?

I don't know I'm afraid Hun. I know I have to see my doctor instead of mw at 26 wks just because thy like to check on you. Maybe that's when they do tha for you??

Just asked my SIL who gave birth 6 months ago in the same hospital (prob should have asked her first lol) but she said she had an appt at 30wks and it was another scan. So fx that's what its for!
I think I remember something about a third scan at my early pregnancy class, but I thought it was at 32wks.

But there u have it, here's hoping its a scan then!
I'm afraid to get too excited though incase its not lol x
