Q Re: 16-week check up
Hi everyone, me again.
I am so not prepared for my appnt later! Bet you I forget my yellow book too!!!
Will I be having a blood test today do you think?
My 16w check is with my Dr, as in my area / surgery, the Dr prefers to do your 16w check. My Doc is also looking after me very well so said she wanted to do it for me!
I'm just not sure if I will be sent for a blood test or not...
(Its not a problem, but hubby has an exercise thingy he does on Monday's and he might struggle time wise if I am then sent for a blood test after my appnt!!!)

I only had bloods at 10 weeks oh and then the downs test at my 12week scan and havent had any since. I would guess im due for more soon and am seeing midwife tomorrow. Im 25 weeks.
I would guess all midwifes have different procedures though.

Literally it was BP, wee and to see how i was feeling etc and listen to bubs hb.... the midwifes in my area are crap though so the 16wk check was my booking in app too, and even then i was only inthere 15mins max????????????!!!! :roll:
I didnt know what to expect either but when I got there all we did was have a little chat about how I was feeling and she got me up on the bed and used a little machine to hear the baby's heartbeat (that was lush).
I also had all my bloods taken at hospital when I had my scan.
You should be in and out in a flash. In fact I went on my own as hubby was at work

They do only take bloods at 16 weeks for a triple test- otherwise it's just at 12 and 28 weeks xx
Thanks,
Appointment went well - we were with the Dr for about 40-mins!!!
Heard Angus Beans' heartbeat, it was fast, about 157! I am now thinking this little bean I thought was a boy is a girl!!! (Apparantely faster heartbeats indicate girls?)
Dr thinks I'm anemic so having another blood test tomorrow.

mrsrc - the triple test is for spina bifida, edwards syndrome and downs syndrome.
