Hi!
The midwife came today for my first visit. She was really nice which I’m so happy about – I’m still feeling really nervous about everything.
It wasn’t a really long visit, she took my blood pressure, tested for carbon monoxide levels, weighed me, worked out my BMI, etc. Obviously she asked all of the questions about medical history in our families and my own health. She made sure I was happy in my relationship and asked a few questions about my boyfriend but that’s about it really.
I’ve got to go have a blood test on Wednesday and she said that I will receive a letter with the date and time of my first scan in the next few weeks – so exciting! She worked out that I’m 7 weeks and 6 days pregnant today and my due date is the 12th January, which is 4 days before my birthday! The scan will tell me the exact date but it’s really nice to have an idea for now.
I still haven’t bought anything yet as its so early but I’ve been looking online and I’ve seen loads of cute things. I can’t wait for these first 12 weeks to pass so I can tell everyone and start to prepare!
