First Midwife Appointment

Rate this Entry
Had my first midwife appointment today - took longer than I thought! 101 questions on me, mine and DH's family medical background, weigh-in, blood tests and peeing in a pot. Looks like this will likely be a high-risk pregnancy because of blood pressure and diabetes that runs in the family, plus am bordering on a 'mature' age. Yay, me! Oh well, one day at a time and hope for the best.

    It can be all a bit daunting at first but all will be fine, try not to worry too much!

    Thanks. I'm ok, really, just no previous point of reference as is my first child. Thinking my main concern is keeping my diet in check really, which isn't going too badly - LO is making sure of that! Having to second guess most things I eat at the moment; I don't have m/s or really any nausea, but if I eat anything I'm not too sure about or anything really sweet/fried/oily, baby is NOT happy. Even ice cream is a bit of a gamble. Huge change for me as I have a sweet tooth normally - cakes, chocolate, cookies, you name it, I'd eat it! Finding I'm actually eating for up to one person - I don't sit and eat, for example, a starter, main and dessert, but will have small amounts of things and move on. Am definitely eating enough, but somewhat picking in comparison to my usual eating habits and eating a little more often rather than the three-planned-meal approach.

    I've been pretty similar when it comes to sweets. I'm completely put off by sweets at the moment and I always had a pastry or cookies with coffee in the afternoon. No more. I have some nuts, or olive and feta dip instead. What a change! Funny little beans causing havoc hey :)
