Consultant app tomorrow

I had mine on Friday last week x

I’m under 2 different consultants so I’ve got double the appointments, got one on the 7th and one on the 17th this month! Ones for my mental health and the other one is because I have an auto immune disease

I have had 2 consultant appointments so far with 2 different consultants one because I have a double uterus and the other because I have a thyroid condition they want to monitor my babies weight and make sure it grows properly and I get exactly the same but I find after having the appointment I feel like my mind is more at rest as they answer all of my questions and I know they are keeping a close eye on on me try not to worry too much and write down any questions as they come to you so you go in prepared x

@Michelle hey, do you have an underactive thyroid? I have an autoimmune underactive thyroid and I’m wondering what my consultation appointment will be like

@Natalya hey no it’s over active it’s Graves’ disease they discussed my medication moving forward and the impact this could have on baby later on due to growth and that baby may have to have more growth scans but they were lovely and I felt very validated as I have been so so tired

@Natalya we basically went through a whole plan for the pregnancy and when medications will change what extra scans I will have and extra blood tests to have

@Michelle thank you! All I know is that I have a higher chance of premature birth and a low birth weight but much has been explain to me so gotta wait till the 17th for my appointment but I have an endocrinology appointment on Friday!

Your endo will be able to give you a lot of information as well I got a bit carried away with googling and it wasn’t u til I spoke to the consultant that I felt a bit better

@Michelle thank you!!!!!

@Natalya oh wow bless you, that sounds tough!! I hope they go well and your doing okay🙏🥺 xx

@Sarah how did it go? Xx

It was great, got to discuss all my worries, had weight, blood pressure, urine test, carbon monoxide test, flu jab, but also found put I gotta start injecting myself with blood thinners at 28 weeks 😬 x

@Michelle oh my goodness bless ya, that sounds like alot!😳😞 Awwh I'm glad I'm not the only one 😔 I deffently skip to worse case scenario when everything will probably be just fine 😆 Ahh thankyou that sounds like a good idea actually xx

Hi everyone ☺️ consultant appointment went well, got to have extra growth scans starting at 32 weeks and ovbs consultant appointments too. Being reffered to Perimental health team, which she said is not up for discussion this time lol, but it's probably best for me and baby and I'm okay about it. Had a really lovely consultant actually, was really worried about being judged but she wasn't judgemental at all xxx
