My first hospital antenatal appointment is for 06 January 2005. I'm happy with that. Something to look forward to in the New Year (fingers crossed). It's the same hospital I had Caitlin in but they seem better organised this time, lol. I got a letter with an information booklet explaining the maternity services available and the level of care to expect. Very reassuring.
According to the book, if I'm doing shared care (hospital & mw @ the doctor's surgery) then I can expect to visit the hospital at 22, 29, 35 & 41 weeks of my pregnancy and be offered an u/s at most visits. I will then see my mw, at the doctor surgery, at regular intervals between hospital visits.
I've already met my mw and I really like her. I think I'll keep most of my questions for her. I'm going to get a copy of my notes from Caitlin's delivery. I'm not sure what went wrong in the end, it might have been pre-eclampsia but it might have been a reaction to the epidural. I'll have to find out. I don't mind maybe having another c-section but I'd rather it wasn't an emergency like last time.
