Morning pyschick, I am just back. Forgot to get a pee sample, well I did remember this morning but only when I was in 'mid-flow'!
All went well, no problems, although as I am b negative blood I will apparently end up a bit of a pin cushion according to the midwife. She asked some funny questions too, like is my partner a blood relative, I was tempted to say 'yes, hes my dad' but thought better of it! Mind you she was laughing too, apparently its geared more toward asian women who may intermarry. She also asked if there was any mental illness in my family although I dont think 'they're all nuts' was the answer she was looking for.
Well she worked out my dates and guess what? According to her I am due on the 24th too! Also got my date for the scan which is also the 14th, how weird is that? I have also elected to have an amnio so that should be sometime in sept, more needles, great.
She gave me loads of info and booklets to get freebees, are they worth it? Its just, I want the freebees but I don't want to be bombarded with useless literature trying to sell me stuff.
On the good news front, she weighted me and it turns out that I am 8 lbs less than I thought (for now!), so may as well bin the cr@ppy bathroom scales.
I mentioned about being unemotional and she said that some women are like that right up until they give birth and not to worry, so I won't.
All in all I feel a lot better and now that I have seen her, feel that there is more support. Was just thinking though, neither she nor my doctor did a pregnancy test. I have done two (tescos' not so finest), but what if i was just a big mad liar who liked to fake pregnancy? I know that it will show up in my sample but just thought someone would have tested me!
Will keep you posted. maybe nearer the time we could do a 'who will pop first' competition for abers.
