Midwife appointment

Hey all! I have my first midwife appointment on Monday, called the ‘booking appointment’. I will be 7 weeks and although we acknowledged it’s a little early, does anyone know what happens during this appointment?

I miscarried last September and was debating getting an early scan but I honestly think it’ll cause me more anxiety, especially if I go and they can’t see anything. Have decided to let nature take its course, it’s so hard though not to constantly worry!

Also, I’m so ridiculously tired, really sore boobs (especially nips) and I’m hungry all the time. Odd amount of nausea but no sickness! Anyone else having mood swings as well? Just feel so irritated at everything 🤣😱 xx

From what I remember first time round, the first appt os mostly about getting information about your general health, family health history etc. set you up with maternity notes, take blood pressure etc
There's a handy guide to appointments on the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/your-pregnancy-care/your-antenatal-care-and-appointments/

What’s the best month in your opinion to get pregnant?

Hi ladies what would you say is the best month to conceive ? I was thinking around February March as I would love to have a baby near Christmas time and have a little newborn near Christmas. What do you all think?

How? 😂

Those of you that have gone past your due date, how in the actual f are you coping?
I’m due to be induced a few days before my due date and I’m struggling so much just in general.
My pelvis is so heavy and achey I literally can’t be bothered to do anything that is remotely like moving. Even rolling over in bed is absolutely disgusting 😂.

How are you coping?!

Glucose test

Has anyone else had a glucose test to check for diabetes? I went this morning, after 1 hour I threw it all back up which means I have to go back next week to try again. Any tips for surviving that 2hour wait without throwing up 😫😫
