I’ve got a consultant app for the 23rd (day before my birthday but there every 2 weeks on a Friday so couldn’t change it) for my thyroid and possibly my weight. I see the midwife the week before. Did the midwife do the blood tests so results are ready as I haven’t had a blood test since July for it (I don’t think midwife did it for them at 8 weeks) as it’s quite a gap and I’m feeling pretty drained but don’t know if it’s pregnancy or thyroid or both

No, I had to organise my thyroid bloods separately, like when I get them done and I'm not pregnant. But I guess it is trust dependent. If you say you are feeling drained through they may do bloods for anaemia and you can ask for the TSH and free T4 to be added to that I guess.

I’ll have to ask midwife as that’s next Friday so hopefully she’ll be able to or ask doc if they can. I’m sure one of the bloods was for iron levels but I’ve not heard anything since. Thank you tho

Turned out I am anaemic after all. Must be quite as I’m on 400mg. Got next hospital scan a fortnight on Tuesday. Times flying

So exciting! I'm still a little gutted that we weren't able to find out. OH didn't want to pay out for a scan after they had their legs crossed at the 20 and 22 week scans. On the plus side it's stopped me going out and buying loads of clothes!

I’m 17 weeks tomorrow, paid for an early private scan. Got my official scan on the 27th which will make me 20 weeks + 4.

I’m doing well Munchkin, the sickness has finally stopped and I’m starting to eat properly again but the smell of food cooking still makes me ill

Im 19 weeks today. My hospital Scans a week on Tuesday.

I’m living off microwave meals as cooking makes me heave. Can’t eat half the food I used to like jacket potato’s either.
