Hi Flack,

just saw that you have replied too. This forum is super fast! Will check out the website as well. Thanks!
 
Welcome CindyB,
Think we are all in the dark a bit so,dont feel too worried,as I think you'll find it will all fall into place and you learn as you go along.
I only found out on thursday,which was a BIG surprise and now only a week later,have learnt so much already and finding this site has really helped.
Hopefully meet up soon...

Jjald what day are we doing lunch?

Wednesday if you can make it - let me know! I put an invite thing on the June - September forum.

I really should do more work and spend less time on here...!
 
Hi All,

Just got back from my scan - all OK, and my due date is 11 September.

I am going back in 3 weeks for Downs testing etc.

Got some pictures, but cannot scan them to everyone at home as the scanner does not seem to pick up the images which is a shame. I'll ask for a CD next time.

I thought Dr Cora was really nice.

Have a good weekend everyone!

PS Am regretting comment about pre-natal yoga yesterday. My thights are really sore from all the squats!
 
Hey Jjald,
So good to hear all was ok,I go back for those test in a months time....
Also I am due a week after you.

I had the some problem with the pic,so I just took a photo of the picture close up and it came out really good,make sure its flat (blue tic it down or something) that way you wont get the light shinning on it.

she is really nice,am pleased to have found her.

Hope your legs feel better soon,at least its the weekend, have a good one every one xx
 
Great news that your scan went well Jjald! I have my scan on Mon and I cannot wait. I am hanging to know the EDD. Wish me luck at Tsan Yuk tomorrow ... hopefully I will not have to wait too many hours! Will let you all know how it goes and what actually happens. xx
 
Oooh, let me know how long it takes. Mine is next Saturday, just after my brother arrives from London, I'm realy hoping it won't take too long!
 
Hi Girls,

I went to Tsan Yuk today to register, it was all pretty simple and efficient and the staff very friendly. It is simply a registration and you do not see a doctor just nurses.

First you have to give over all your documentation - yours and hubbys id cards, referral letter, proof of address and then they measure your height. They did not take weight or blood pressure or anything like that - just height - weird! Then they give you a record book and booklet of info (really good) and ask you to fill in personal details. Once the group is all ready they take you over together to watch a video with info about the antenatal process and downs syndrome. It went for about 1/2 hr. Then you get called in one by one to meet with the nurse to discuss previous history, details of pregnancy etc. Depending on your info she may refer you to see another nurse who is associated with the high risk dept. Then you have a blood test for HIV, RH factor etc. Once you have then made your first antenatal appt (mine is at 12 weeks) you are free to go.

We got there at 10.30am cause I had read in another thread to be early. I would suggest to get there earlier than 11am but no need to get there really early cause they seemed to wait for everyone anyway before they would show the video and then the appt with the nurse after that and blood test was really efficient and quick. Today was not very busy (def no more than 10 ladies for the 11am english slot). I am not sure if this is the case every week. We were finished by 12.30pm and it did not cost anything.

As for scans it was hard to get a straight clear answer on that one and I think that is because it is run by another dept. One thing I can confirm is that at my first anenatal appt I have booked there is no scan on that day.

Anyway, I hope this helps those who are going to register in the coming weeks. Let me know if you have any questions.

xx
