Midwife appointment

Victoria

So I saw my midwife today for one of the regular checks (I'm 17+5 weeks) and it was a midwife I had never been to see before and I got myself so worried because I'm classed as a high risk because my BMI is 52 (unplanned pregnancy- however a miracle as I was told I couldn't have children)

She was lovely but you could tell she was very busy and I felt like I couldn't ask all the questions I needed to 🙄 so that was the only downside 😬 And she did press on about the weight a bit too much but I'm eating well and exercising so you know 🙅🏻

However she used the Doppler and we found baby's heartbeat straight away and she was very surprised due to my size, and I have an anterior placenta. My mum also heard it loud and clear too 💗

I'm so happy everything's going well as this is my first baby and I feel like things are looking up after being made redundant from my job and splitting up with the OH. I'm even getting a rounder tummy and it's starting to look more like a bump now! 🤗
