I was wondering what will happen in my first midwife appointment ? Also I've been to see my nurse yesterday and she asked me when I was last on (which I couldn't remember because I have terrible memory) but I've never been like 'clock work' I haven't got nothing wrong me or anything I've just never been regular haha! So I could really answer so I said I about 1 1/2 months/ 2 months ago? Which is a big guesstimate haha!

But I was wondering and sorry if this is a stupid question, but will they know how far along I am without knowing when I was last on? And if they can how do they find out?

Thank you!

When you have a scan they will take measurements of baby etc and give you a due date x

I was the same, so they sent me for a dating scan, which was amazing because I got to see my little wriggler :) enjoy the mystery, soon you'll know!

Congrats!! The fun begins now! I said I wasn't sure of dates either so they sent me letter for dating scan, it means you get to see your baby sooner too :-)

Hey hun congratz!!!

First midwife app she will make up ure folder and have u registered as a prego woman lol. She will ask if u knew when ure last period was and give u a rough due date, she will pass ure details to the hospital who will then get in touch when they think u r about 12 weeks. Once u go there u will have a scan and they can measure baby and give u a due date and tell u how far along u r . After this ure midwife will be in touch with u in regards to appointments etc xx
