That made you look! Week 18  (17 weeks and 5 days to be exact). I’ve just seen the midwife at UCLH. I don’t know what I expect them to do but so far, these appointments are a massive anti-climax. I’m an intellectual snob I know but these midwives seem mediocre to me. Not dynamic, not proactive . Don’t get me wrong, this is likely my problem, my overly high expectations. I’m sure they are doing a great job. She took my blood pressure, which was pretty low, so took it again and it has risen to a reasonable level, she listened to the baby’s heart and asked a few questions; had I thought about the birth? – yes, epidural and all the drugs possible! – Was I feeling okay? – yes – and that was about it. I should really be pleased. All going smoothly. However, with my tendency for boredom, I’m always wanting something more. Plus as I’ve said before, the EGA Wing at UCLH is brand new and very well run. Less waiting around than at their private IVF clinic, one of the best in the country, the CRGH.Week 18 ( 17 weeks and 5 days to be exact). I’ve just seen the midwife at UCLH.
