8 week scan???? Count yourself lucky I think round here it's 12 week scan and 20 week scan as standard... at 8 weeks (working on the 6 week emergency one I had) you won't see much to be honest I would have thought... I didn't think they could do the measurements etc they needed to at the 12 week one that early?

MM glad your ok and you must have got a big fright *hugs* now get those feet up and rest everything else can wait u and the baby are the most important right now!

as for registering baby, here we get given a card with a number place of birth etc and that has to be taken along with parents birth certificates and marriage cert (if married). if any of these arent available you will have a prob to register baby?

Sorry I don't think its a scan - just wishful thinking?! (Pregnancy confusion maybe........)

It is my first appointment with the midwife which they say takes about an hour and a half? Just wanting to know what to expect.

At my first MW appointment she just took mine and hubbys details, family medical history, took bloods and booked my 12 week scan. HTH

Booking in is usually blood tests and a whole raft of a thousand questions. She will give you a bounty pack with tons of info in it and also a form for free prescriptions. Usually they sort you out with a date for a 12 week scan too. It's exciting!!

Sorry for TMI ladies but my poo smells medicinal! I am taking iron so poo has been black for a while but at the moment it is smelly but it smells like hospitals! Anyone else had this??

shelvis - I'm taking iron but haven't noticed this at all. But I'm taking it in liquid form, maybe that makes a difference?

Mel - Congratulations!!!

MrsMOC - so glad everything is okay. I had low-lying placenta when pregnant with DS2, but it moved up by scan at 32wks.

Karen- the first appointment i had with midwife, was a general how are you feeling, are you/have you been taking folic acid, any health problems they need to be aware of etc.. then given a green book (all my pg notes) to fill in some bits and to take to all my appointments. took my blood pressure as well and made my appointment for 1 st scan (tomorrow!!). this one in my area is all the blood tests, talk through all screening tests and have scan!!

MrsMoc - (((HUGS))) to you, that must have been very frightening. Put your feet up and get plenty of rest.
