    Just popping in to say good luck for your scans tomorrow Alice31 and toooldforthis.

    Congrats sulphate too - my advice would be just be totally honest with the questions - the midwives are there to help you, and will be capable of discerning between relevant and irrelevant information.
  • Sulphate- like I said before, I was on anti depressants last year and I have very close family history of serious mh problems (suicide attempts and psychiatric illness). I let my mw know all of this but declined to be referred on to further support as I didn't feel it was necessary. Good to let them know but up to you if you take up the treatment/ pathway offered. :)
  • Thanks timeflies .... good luck Alice xx

    Not much sleep last night be glad when we know nervous doesn't even cover it !!

    Sulphate you need to be completely honest. I have had depression in the past so I told them that but we agreed it was long over. They just said to be aware that I might be more at risk of pre or post natal depression, and if I feel low I should tell them as they have special trained mental health midwives you can talk to. They won't make you have any treatment or anything that you don't want but it is important for them to have your whole medical history :)

    Lilmiss I know what you mean about it being hard not to interfere! Never mind being scared to move up to the biggest thread, I seem to be wanting to regress to this thread! Currently 24+5 :o
