21-8-2011 - first hospital appt - 11 weeks

My mood while writing this blog: good

HI ALL,

Just wanted to let you know how my first hospital appt went this morning. The midwife was lovely, they told me they were putting me as "high risk" due to having pre-eclampsia and also being a bigger girl with a family history of diabetes. So they booked me in for my NT scan with bloodwork on monday at 2 (yay) then on the 5th of sept im having an early glucose tolerence test and then on the 14th sept i have a review of both with the hig risk doctors. they have also booked my morphology scan for 20 weeks on the 24th of october. so its all happening now!!

They gave me my "little orange book" which here in Aus, every one gets and it holds all your records for this pregnancy. they encourage you to carry it with you in your handbag for just in case something happens and you have to be taken to hospital s the docs that dont normally treat you have your records. It gets filled in every appt and has alot of little booklets of useful information.

They also gave me a "bounty bag" which has a few samples of things like baby bum cream, coco butter, dental floss and hair treatment. and lots of differnt coupons for baby like stuff. pretty much all the same from when i had my son.

so that was all really, apart from family medical history and how im feeling.

Hope your all feeling well. 11 weeks is so far treating me good. almost no symptoms apart from reflux and still really tired!

Good luck with all your scans and up coming appts to my preggo friends and to all my mummy friends, i hope your lil ones are doing well and behaving nicely!!

much love, Kirsty
