..........!! Couldn't believe it. It was defo the highlight of the midwife' visit.
The rest of it was not great.
I went to the midwife on Wednesday, to be honest I wasn't that impressed. She was the same one that did my booking in, but didn't know that, as all she had infront of her was a piece of paper with all her appoitments on for that day. So she didn't have any of my notes and she asked me 4 times how far gone I was, she didn't have any test results ( she asked me what tests I had had, and I said I don't know you took the blood! )
She then asked me had I had the test results of the triple test back..... I didn't know I had had it done!!! Didin't even know what a triple test was!! She then phoned me the next day and left a message to phone the antenatal, and left me the number for the labour ward ( which I found out by ringing it! ) They transfered me to antenatal and they said I couldn't have had the triple test, as I was too early......
.... I phoned the midwife back, and she said she had made a mistake, and meant the double test.... I had to phone the antenatal back, and they gave me the results - 1:2300, which she then went onto explain that I was very low risk for my age.( think I should be 1:400 - as I am an old bag!! ) so that it really good news.
This being my first, I have had no experience of a midwife before, but I don't think that she is that great. I am a little peeved that I had a test for Downs and didn't know I had had it, so Neil I hadn't even discussed the outcome.....
Anybody think I am over reacting??
Anyway....... main thing is my baby is doing fine!!! I heard the baby's heartbeat

Ah well at least your baby's doing OK, and that is a really low-risk result so must've put ur mind at rest x
Know kinda how you feel in respect of midwife...went for my 2nd m/w appmnt yesterday & was told my original m/w had left & no-one new to replace, just a temp! However, she was v v nice.
One of my blood test results wasn't with the other two, so dunno if my iron levels are right!!
But, as you said it was fantastic hearing the baby's heartbeat and great knowing all is going well xx
I suppose I should of looked up stuff on the internet first, and the main thing is baby is OK!!
