I have my 16 week appointment on Wednesday. I'm taking a friend with me for some moral support as I want to talk to the midwife about concerns I've been having due to splitting with my partner (because I'm pregnant) and I'm scared about how I've been struggling to cope. if anyone has had to discuss something similar, was the 16 week appointment a good time to do this? Not sure whether the midwife will talk to me about it directly or whether I'll be given the chance to talk to someone else. I don't mind either way.
Anyway apart from talking about how I'm feeling what else should I expect? I'd like to be able to hear the heartbeat if that's something routinely done at 16 weeks, I've been told by a few friends it is but I've read they don't always do it as it's hard to find so I don't want to get my hopes up for hearing it.
i just like knowing what to expect really!
TIA
