Hi everyone. I'm 13 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I got a letter today saying I've been referred to see a consultant in the antenatal clinic.
I couldn't make it on the date they gave so rang up to ask for another. I asked the lady on the phone what the appointment was for and she said the endocrine clinic.
I had never heard of this so asked what it was and I could hear her asking around the office and eventually she said they don't know, they're admin (understandable) but she did add that it's high risk. I asked if maybe it was to do with high BMI and she said no because they do that clinic on a different site altogether.
My midwife has already booked my glucose tolerance test and consultant appointment for 28 weeks pregnant, so this one for 13 weeks is out the blue. When I got my booking in bloods taken my midwife did say she wanted to test my thyroid so maybe it's that? Has anyone else been referred to the endocrine clinic before? I've never been referred to any clinics in my other pregnancies so feel a bit vulnerable right now!
thanks in advance for any answers and sorry this post was so long!
