Hello,

Got my 25 week GP doctors appointment tomorrow. What do they check and what do I need to expect?

Thanks

I had my 24 week midwife appt today - she checked my pee, took my blood pressure, measured my bump and felt the baby.

Bloods are getting done at 28 weeks on top of ^^ that lot. It's not bad!

I got my blood pressure checked, my urine. Midwife measured my bump and we listened to the baby's heart beat :) It was fine.

Forgot about the heartbeat! We heard hiccups for 5 mins first Grin

Hi I didn't get measured at mine - should I be worried?

OneFingerSjupesUpTheYoni · 26/04/2013 23:02

It's bloods next time for me (28wks) not looking forward to that Hmm

Glad it went to plan Grin

Mrs they'll probably measure at your next appt not to worry :)

See how obsessed i am with my blood i mention it repeatedly Blush i'm like a stone it doesn't want to leave me.

Clca · 26/04/2013 23:43

Haha! Is it just iron levels they check for in the bloods at 28wks?

How are you feeling onefinger? Hope the first 24 weeks have been ok Smile

I should know this as i'm on dc3 but i only ever hear about my iron being too low, i haven't a clue what else they test for Blush

Had braxton hicks today which was new, haven't had them since dc1 and she is 8! First 14/16 weeks were awful sicky/nauseas all the time but fine now :) except spd type symptoms i need checked out - agony in my hips/lower back when i walk :(

Has your pregnancy been fun and games Grin

It's my dc1 for me so utterly clueless!

I've been pretty lucky so far I think. Bit nauseous at the beginning but all fine since then. Just very tired!
