16 week midwife appointment -what to expect?!

[CakeLady456]

Anyone else got a 16 week midwife appointment coming up? Not sure what they are going to do to me?!

Just a general check up...blood pressure, a chat and the should listen to babies heartbeat too. X

Just had mine. Blood pressure, urine check, asked if I was well/had any concerns, went through my blood results with me. Booked me for a GD test for 28 weeks (I have a high BMI). Discussed a few birth 'plan' ideas. That's it.

It's nothing to worry about.

They just took my blood pressure, asked how I was feeling, and used a Doppler to listen to the heartbeat, which was lovely.

Are they supposed to have a listen with a Doppler? They haven't listened to mine yet and am turning 27 weeks on Tuesday.
In mine I just had a blood pressure test and she just asked if I had any questions. I think it lasted about 10 minutes. I was surprised I haven't been weighed again since booking in too.

Same as every other one you'll have! BP, urine, listen to baby heart beat (although not all areas to this at 16 weeks), a feel of your tummy, might measure your fundal height (but probably not until 25 weeks. I never got weighed again after booking in, last time, or this, and I'm nearly 39 weeks.

Not all areas listen to the hb before 24 weeks. My midwife said that they didn't in my area as they are still so tiny at that stage and it isn't always easy to find.

Mine went through results from booking in appt blood tests, results from downs test and blood pressure and urine check.

Blood pressure, urine, check blood results, ensure any referrals have been made, general chat, antenatal classes may be discussed, check scan report and ensure anomaly scan is booked for 20-22weeks May offer to listen to fetal heart, but this isn't necessary this early.

Blood pressure, urine, blood test results, quick chat about any questions I had and that was it. I asked if we could have a listen to the HB but she said they don't routinely offer that in my area, and that she could only try for a few mins, and wouldn't be able to scan if we couldn't find it. I left it as had been up in the EPU a few days before and had heard it then.

Thanks all!! Puts my mind at rest!
