MW appointment at 17 weeks was 16 weeks what to they do?
I live in Essex and was wondering at my next mw appointment what will happen, Will I be able to find out my blood group from previous blood taken, I have to take a wee sample so that will be tested again. Will she test the hearbeat I am dying to know how many beats a minute, did try counting on dopler but gave up hubby got 100 and then 90 think that must be wrong as they are usually over 120 arn't they. I want to know the beats to try and work out the possible sex of baby, what else will she do?

Everytime you see mw she will check wee and bp. she will go through any previous tests you've had done, listen to heartbeat (mine doesn't tell me bpm) and has a feel of your stomach. You'll be asked general questions on your health or if you have any concerns.
mw check ups do quite quite repetative
Hate to break it to you but the beats per minute won't give you a definitive answer on the sex! My son't hb was around 155-160 every time which would indicate a girl, loads of others on here have said the same too! It's still lovely to hear it though xx
