Why did she come to see you at home?
Thats weird...I always had to see mine
with lucas at the doctors surgery, and
same thing with this pregnancy. She only
did home visits after lucas was born.
Maybe its different in diff areas...
Did you get the green n purple pregnancy
book?

I don't know why she came around she just
text me some numbers to book my scan and
said if you're around today I can come and
book you, I text back from dom's phone she
called him and said can she come over the
next morning and she did. I'm seeing her
at the surgery at 16 weeks though. Yep it
is that book, I took one look at the
pictures of crowning etc and thought oh
dear lord please tell me it doesn't look
like that!

Yeah my midwife wanted to see me at
home.
I was like no f*ckin way lady - I do not
have people come to my house ugh.
So I made them schedule my appts at my
docs surgury.
I think they do it if they want to "check
on your home situation" - for me that was
because I have ocd on my medical records
and the very reason why I do not have
people come to my house (well flat) d'uh.

Oh ok. Yeh I think its good tho cos it
saves u from having to go there and sit in
waiting room for ages. I always get
nervous at the docs surgery lol... That
pregnancy book is really good tho. When
your baby is born or just before, she'll
give u another called birth to 5yrs. Both
are helpful on what to expect and what to
do. I didnt know they sometimes did blood
tests at home. I'd rather do that lol

I'd prefer to have them all here but I
don't mind going to the surgery because
it's basically next to my school so I try
to get appointments in my lunch time then
I can just pop down. I can't stand
needles even though i've managed to get my
ears pierced three times, my belly button
and lip pierced but thats kinda different
I wanted that done! Still the blood test
wasn't as bad as I thought. I'm just
hoping my bubba comes on time because my
sister's getting married on the 11th july
and I need to catch a ferry to go there
for a week, but the bubbs can't come on
the 20th because it's my nephew's birthday
and the 22nd is my birthday...
