Booking In Appointment

So i've met with the midwife.  Her name was Mary and she was lovely.  From my lmp she says i'm 9 weeks pregnant so she is arranging my 12 week scan.  Very worried about this and hope there is a baby there when they scan me.

We filled in lots of paperwork which took about an hour and we talked about blood test during pregnancy they would do, scans, healthy eating, exercise and lots of other things oh and breast feeding too.

Due to my history of miscarriages she is putting me as high risk and arranging extra appointments throughout my pregnancy which i am hoping will give me extra peace of mind knowing i get to see a professional every few weeks.  I also get to be seen by a consultant several times too.

I have another appointment on Tuesday with another midwife for the first trimester blood tests.  They test lots of things like-

• Blood Type
• Rhesus Disease
• Anamia
• Infections

The infections they test for are-

• Rubella Immunity
• Syphilis
• Hepatitis
• HIV

Can't wait for my scan appointmnt to come through.  I hope DH can come with me and i'm praying there is a baby in there.  This is such a worrying time.

Will keep you posted with how things progress
