What should I expect? Will there be blood test or just again checking blood pressure only?

I think they do what they did in 16... Bp, any Q, ect. but they should do a blood test I had all my forms in the first appt, and have a bloods form for 28weeks & they do urine and if ur rhesus neg, and ur partner positive u have ur first injection for that too.

They check over on baby, this is when they normally start measuring your bump, and depending on where the appt is or how the services work in ur area I had bloods at 28 weeks but at my antenatal appt at the hospital x
