Hi everyone!
I’m not sure whether I’m being all Italian and hypochondriac (all my mates in Italy have monthly gynaecology appointments and blood tests where they check everything including toxoplasmosis ).
But my 24/25 week appointment is over the phone, and as this is my first pregnancy and I’m not yet sure about baby’s movements I feel a bit worried at not listening to heartbeat / having pressure and urine checked.
I also asked if they could give me some extra blood tests to check for iron as I feel exhausted all the time and I’m not sure whether it’s a normal level of fatigue or not, but someone called and said I should wait until 28 week tests.
My neighbour who’s with the same trust and same week of pregnancy more or less but is classified at risk due to complications in earlier pregnancy has had million scans and her blood tests checked etc.
I generally feel ok apart from fatigue but as it’s my first pregnancy I’m really worried I might not even realise if something is wrong!
Shall I try and call them to see if they can move it to a face to face appointment???
