Hi there mums and mums-to-be I am hoping you may be able to explain a few things to me about this pregnancy lark.
I am now 10 weeks 5 days pregnant with my first baby :) we were extremely fortunate to have successful ivf first time round and are both super excited but also lost as hell as to what should be happening!
after confirmation of the pregnancy we were told to speak to our doctors to get a midwife which we have done, midwife filled in some forms and told me i would also have to see a consultant at the local hospital because we had ivf. Heard nothing, chased hospital and they said they've booked me a midwife appointment for 10th sep when I would be 13 weeks. This seems pretty late if I then have to wait after that for a scan appointment – there’s no chance they would fit me in that week for a scan and we are desperate to find out if everything is okay and I think I read the nuchal test must be done before 14 weeks which seems cutting it fine.
I asked them about it and they said I could go to a group midwife session on the 4th sep and that’s my only other option. Is this normal? If im going to a group session it doesn’t sound like a consultant thing because we had ivf and if I just need to see a midwife, why not just the local gp surgery one? Very confused. What should be happening?!
