Today was teh day we find out whats what and so on, been a bit of a wait for this and the nerves are setting in big time, not knowing what to expect or anything so we are going in blind lol.
once at the medical centre we booked in and took a seat in the waiting area, we were there about half an hour before been called, ravens name came up on the board for her to go and see the midwife now. so we both got up and walked down the corridor to see the midwife, not knowing which door it was, but fortunatly the midwife came out, we knew we were gonna see a male midwife to begin with so naturally there was nerves about that too.
the midwife must have known we were pretty nervous cuz straight away he made us feel comfortable, hes a very funny person and he has a kind nature too which will help raven a lot, shes worse than me for the nerves lol, altho i think it was pretty even that day lol.
we went in and sat down but he didnt do anything straight away, we had a little chat and so on i think that was to get to know us a bit better and make us relax some, eventually he told us what was going to happen in that appointment and basically nothing much lol,
it was more a form filling, info giving appointment made to give you advice and to tell you what to expect and so on, and there were going to be some basic test things do but nothing painful lol.
firstly he took ravens blood pressure, which was good, he asked us if we had a water sample and of course yes we did, and raven the little shit lol j/k had made me carry it haha, he checked for protien in it and that was fine, and then he checked her weight, rave didnt like that at all, but i still love her.
so once that was done it was basically it, he told us that we would have to go see a secondry health professional, a constultant at the hospital because of ravens weight, but rave knew that would happen, and shes dredding it, but im sure she'll be fine.
and then told us to book a blood test, you should have seen raves face, it was a right picture of fear, she has a big problem with needles and has never had a blood test before, so she was naturally quite scared, but the sooner its over the better for her.
anyways that was the end of the appointment and was some good info too, now all we have to do is wait for the appointments to come through the post and for the blood test to be done.
we went to the reception and booked the blood test, its on tuesday, so rave was a little scared but its understandable. ill be there for her and she will be just fine and do great.
