After my crappy appointment at the doctors this morning, I was pleased to hear from the midwife at 7pm tonight.
First of all, she congratulated me, more than I got from the doctor! She then went on to ask if it was my first baby and how far along I thought I was etc..
She said that my local doctors surgery didn’t have any appointments until August and as I would be more than 8 weeks by then, she wanted to get me in sooner. I think as a first timer, she would probably understand you’re very anxious, which is good.
She asked me if I would be able to make it to the actual Maternity Unit for my appointment, to which the answer was ‘yes’. I therefore, now have my first booking appointment on Monday 23rd July at 9.00am (13 days away). It should last around an hour and she will go through loads and loads of stuff with us. (Matt will of course be accompanying me as this is his baby too!!)
So, now I feel that it’s real. Well, I will when I go to my appointment at least. The midwife is called Helen and she sounded lovely. She said she looks forward to meeting me. She has no idea how much I want to meet her! LOL.
