second midwife appt
Anyone had this yet? I've got mine this afternoon, at 14+6, and she said at my booking in appt (nearly 9 weeks ago, ages!) that we'll be listening to baby's heartbeat! Exciting stuff.
My friend had a baby yesterday and I have to say as soon as I saw a picture it made it way more real for me, weirdly! I haven't really felt very pregnant at all since I stopped feeling like crap all the time and now I just want time to hurry up and get this boring pregnant bit out of the way!

I've got two weeks still before the official second midwife appointment.

We had second appointment today. She didn't listen for heartbeat as we've the next scan in 3 weeks. All ok, and very quick. It was very strange making appointments for September!!! Time is flying in. 17 weeks now so not far off half way. Eeeek.....
Congrats on hearing baba's heartbeat, it must've been lovely.
I had a student midwife at mine too, though it's policy in this area to listen for the heartbeat at 14 weeks it seems. We have a 14 instead of 16 wk appt here. Iwas supposed to have it last week but it was cancelled, kind of glad as we may not have heard hb last week.

I can't wait to find out the sex, I don't know how the ladies keeping it as a surprise do it! We have names now, and I'm already thinking about the baby with the names so I just want to know which one he/she is!

I could probably cope with not knowing if no one else did if the dr/sonagrapher had a clue I'd want to know though. Hubbys desperate to know he wants to name them and be able to bond with them. He also wants to wait buying clothes till we know. Though my mum was pointing out last night that theres no point buying lots of pink clothes if its a girl I'd never out them in them. I think I was traumatised as a child and am no longer a pink fan.
I'm also the same - never been a girly girl and really don't like pink. I'm secretly dreading getting loads of pink clothes from relatives if it's a girl, haha!

I've got my 2nd appt next thursday and i'll be 17+1 by then.. seems like it's been AGES since the last scan.. i'll be very excited if she tries to listen for the heartbeat
My 20 week scan was booked very early too at 8 weeks as it had to fit in with the consultant too, so I think thats how I got 20 weeks exactly.
you seem like you're having to wait for everything pudding hope it doesn't drag too much.
