Booking appointment with Midwife

Week 12....

I saw the midwife at St Helier on the Friday and was in there for about 1.5 hours, crazy! It was just a matter of checking all my medical history, standard form filling and asking questions. I was given a 'green booklet' which I have to take to all my appointments. It basically has all my notes in. The midwife was lovely and really helpful. They also gave me a Pregnancy Book which is really good and a few other leaflets about things when the baby arrives (not that I am thinking about that just yet...)

I was told that going forward I would be seeing the midwife at Shotfield in Wallington so that makes life a lot easier and hopefully get the same one each time. I think I get to see her once a month until the later stages and then it's every 2 weeks.

Few things picked up at that appointment:
- too many white blood cells in urine
- blood in urine
both these may be due to a slight urine infection that I have so been drinking cranberry juice and that will hopefully clear it up. They will get in touch should it be anything to worry about.

She has also referred me to a consultant at 28 weeks to keep an eye on me re: my lung op when I was little. Hopefully nothing to worry about but good that they keep an eye on it. I don't think what I had is hereditary but best to keep an eye on it anyway.

Bring on Monday for the 12 week scan!
