Remind me of what happens at the booking in appointment

[theressomethingaboutmarie]

I have mine today at 2:30pm and really can't remember what happened. I'm also very wary of the midwife telling me I'm overweight (I have a BMI of 27 so I already know this!). Do they go on and on about it?

Not much at all! Went through family history, had blook taken and that was it. Wouldnt worry about weight at all - my BMI is 27.5 and they didnt even mention it. In fact they didn't even weigh me, just asked me if I knew what I weighed, put it into the computer and BMI was on the print out that went into my notes.

My BMI was 27 and midwife commented that I was slim - must be seeing a lot of fatties!

They just take medical history, ask if you are suffering domestic violence, do confidentiality agreement etc. I didn't have bloods taken.

Weight, bp, masses of form-filling and very little else.
Mine was in two parts, one quick appt at the surgery where the MW did the forms etc and rang the scan dept to book me in and the in-depth questionnaire stuff was done at home on a Sunday over coffee all relaxed. That bit took about 45mins.

Mine was questions about previous births, medical history, domestic violence, any concerns I might have had.
And my bloods were taken, and urine sample sent to lab.
My weight and height were done at the next appointment, as the booking in was done at sure start and there was no weight and height facilities there.

I had blood taken, urine, blood pressure. They didn't measure me and I just guessed my height and they used that for BMI. They only weighed me because I didn't know my weight in kg (only lbs) and they didn't know how to convert it.

Loads of questions about me & hubby, family history, what injections / operations I've had. Lots of explaining stuff and filling in forms for hospital etc.

It was all pretty short really.
