Appointment post 20 weeks with Obstetrics Clinic

I have this appointment tomorrow, I've just turned 21 weeks. Similar to you I'm not 100% sure what it's for, I've got high blood pressure but this appointment was made before it was diagnosed. I'll report back so you know what to expect :-)

Thanks so much! Sounds like a routine appointment in that case. Thank you, will be great to know what it's all about 😊

I also didn’t know why i was booked one and when i asked my midwife she said it was bc we did IVF they just want to have an extra appt with us. I ended up having some abnormalities in my 20weeks scan so needed the appointment anyways but I think there can be a lot of random reasons they put the appointment in for you.

That's helpful, thank you! I'm sure it's because of my age and the fact I had a medical condition in my last pregnancy then. Always good to have an extra check up 😊. I hope everything is okay with you and your baby!

hi Allie! Hope your 20 week appointment went okay? Did they explain why they booked it? If you're happy to share what procedures they did, I'd be so interested to know. Thank you 😊

we didn’t discuss anything about the IVF which I think is why the appt was booked in the first place, but instead spoke about the risks with this pregnancy because of the measurement of my blood flow from the placenta to the baby that was flagged at my 20wk scan. For the appt was weighed and blood pressure with a midwife and then met with the OB and she just spoke to me about what that blood flow value means and chance of me being induced early. Took soo long though with the waiting to be called in, so bring a book or something!

thank you that's really helpful, makes me think mine will be focused on the fact I had Obstetrics Cholelithiasis in my last pregnancy then as I am likely to get it again and would need to be induced again. Thanks for the heads up - will definitely take a book with me 😊

I had this one and it was because I am very allergic and tiny. So it was to discuss ways of birth and pain reliefs. So if you have any kind of “different” situation they may invite you to talk to the OC
