Finally got my booking in yesterday! And I meant to post about it but I keep getting distracted replying to other posts….

It was fab! Even that she couldn’t find my vein didn’t change that it was fab! And she didn’t have a go about my weight, cos I said I’d got my Davina DVD, she even said I should take it easy!! I think I may like this midwife 😀

She’s booked me into see a consultant and apparently I’ll get double the amount of appointments I got first time round, which is a bit daunting :S It sounds like I wont get much option in terms of where and how this LO eneters the world, but as long as they do, right now, I care not!! Just got to get through the scan and know that teeny is comfy in there and then hopefully I can chill and enjoy as much as the consultant will let me haha!

I hope those of you lovely lot who are still waiting for your appointments get them soon and they are as good as mine was 🙂

Oh good, I’m glad it all went well. Makes such a difference when you have a nice MW. When’s your next one?

Hi hon!

I am super chuffed she’s so nice, I never saw the same midwife twice last time til I got into hospital!  I wont see her again til 15 weeks all being well, but I’ll have the scan and see a consultant between now and then. I’m assuming all the appointments she was threatening me with start at 20 weeks or so…I guess its unlikely it’d all get dramatic this early on. 🙂

Does having twins mean you’ll get more appointments?? x

Hi Jo,

glad to hear you’ve got a nice midwife and the appt went well!

‘It sounds like I wont get much option in terms of where and how this LO eneters the world’ – is there a particular reason for that? I’m just trying to get myself geared up to be more assertive about things, as I’ve been warned everyone tries to bully you! Hope you get to have your perfect birth (with lots of chilling between now and then).

Ooh good on you getting all assertive! I’m also going to try and be this time, tho it was friends and family I had trouble with last time not Medical staff! They will listen to me this time or no baby cuddles for them!!! 😀

You’re right I suppose I shouldn’t write off all my birth options yet! It’s not a case of bullying though, 🙂 my DD was born by emergency section at 32 weeks cos of preeclampsia, so many of the decisions this time will be informed by that and what the consultant says. I guess it’ll mainly be wait and see, same as everyone else I guess!!! 😀

Hope you’re well hon x
