Appointment

Hey all,
I had my 12 week scan yesterday - all good and healthy with the baby. However today I’ve got an appointment letter through for ‘consultant obstetric care’ in 2 weeks time. I’ve had no phone call or note as to what this appointment is for.
Has anyone had anything similar?
I’ve got my 20 week scan through for December and my diabetes test through for January so it’s not linked to those.
Thank you🥰

I had the same come through, mine was related to having a high BMI so needing to be consultant led, but it could be for a number of reasons. Your midwife should have explained in your booking appointment if you are a higher risk and why, so it might be worth giving them a call for more info!
Hope you get some answers!

I have a few consultation led appointments from talking to the midwife at appointments. One because I have tokophobia, and they were great and took it seriously and now an additional one because my 12 week blood test shows I have low Papp-A so need extra monitoring. I've not been deemed higher risk, it's just extra support for me and baby. I've just had my 16 week midwife appointment and was confused at all of the appointments and she explained again for me because I was getting a bit confused at which one was for which thing.

As Teri says you should have been told at your initial booking appointment though!

I wasn’t told anything at my booking appointment about any extras which is why I’m so confused. I wish they gave you a reason as I’ve stressed so much over it x

Emergency C Section Recovery

Had an emergency c section a week ago today which was quite bad as I was 9.5cm dilated and ended up with other complications.

I thought I would be a bit more mobile by now but still feeling so sore especially on one side of my scar. Guess just wanted to understand anyone else’s experiences and recovery process and if there is anything I can do to reduce the scar it looks big and raised at the moment!!

3D ultrasound at 18 weeks?!

Did anyone do a 3D ultrasound at 18 weeks? Trying to figure out if it’s worth it or if it’s too early to have an enjoyable experience or see any of her features!
