First midwife appointment query
Hi. Hoping some of you second/third time mummies can put my mind at ease. I saw my doctor 3 weeks ago tomorrow to let her know I was pregnant and she said I'd receive a letter with a midwife's appointment in 2 - 3 weeks. Anyhow, today I still hadn't received anything so just went to the doctors and they have booked me an appointment to see to midwife on 9 May, but it's only a 15 min appointment. I am a bit confused, because I thought the first appointment took an hour or so? Plus she only has appointments on Mondays so if I have to go back it won't be until the following week I guess. Just a bit concerned as by my calculations I'll be 9+5 when I see her for the first time but by the doctor's calculations I'll be 10+6. That's ok isn't it? Thanks xx
