Q: Saw my midwife yesterday..

I had my booking in appointment & everything went great. My midwife is such a nice lady.. I'm really glad about that. I didn't discuss home birth with her because she had so much to get through & I didn't get much time to ask questions, so I'll mention it at my next appointment when things aren't so rushed.

She said that because Jenny was IUGR, I'm going to be referred to a doctor at the hospital at about 20 weeks & apparently I'll get more scans than normal. I love having ultrasound scans, so I'm not complaining!

The doctors called me earlier today.. they had the results from my bloodwork already! My iron is low so I need to pick up some tablets later today. No wonder I've been so tired lately.. I literally can't get up in the morning. Hopefully the iron tablets will help!

The hospital is sending me a letter confirming when my dating scan is, so hopefully I won't have too long to wait for that. I can't believe I'm already 11 weeks tomorrow!

Watch out for constipation with the iron tablets, they should make you feel better (less tired) soon.

Wow, almost 11 weeks already? No way!

Ooh the more ultrasounds the better!

Glad you like your midwife, it's horrible when you get a snooty one who doesn't seem to care. It can put you on edge.
