    Expecting my 1st baby in May next year.
    I just got a letter from the Hospital with my first appointment for early november at which stage I'll be 15 weeks.
    Is this normal or does it seem quite late??
    Thanks!
    No doubt I'll be on with plenty more questions over the coming months :D

    Congrats:)
    Is that for bloods or your 1st consultant appointment?
    15/16 weeks sounds normal for public the crowded Dublin hospitals atm

    Thanks :)
    Starting to get excited now....altho trying not to.
    Have told some fierce amount of fibs over the last week or 2.
    Was my own birthday just under 2 weeks ago, had my new godsons christening at the weekend and have another party to go to this weekend. Coming up with excuses for not drinking at any of them is great fun :o
    We havent told anyone yet but I dont think anyone suspects! We're gettign married next yer so everyone thinks ll the focus is on that!!!
    It will be my first time into the hospital.
    GP didnt mention anything about bloods that day!
    Is in Mullingar hospital

    Hi and congrats :)

    I was seen at 10 weeks on this one as I was considered high risk having miscarried twice, on the pregnancy before that they weren't going to see me until 20 weeks :o that was the Rotunda..

    There is a huge baby boom on at the minute so the queues are very long.. Best of luck, hope all goes well for you :)

    Hi,
    Thanks and Congrats to you too.
    Thought they might see me a little earlier as im asthmatic but sure if thats the norm then Im happy enough with that!
    Considering going to get an early scan done.....before we tell anyone!

    Grand, was only there last week. Was with consultant for about 10 mins. Saw 3 midwives before that for bloods, weight ets.
    I've had scans with my doctor from 6 weeks, found I saw much more on those
