Go over medical history etc, take bloods, measure your weight/height. Check your BMI. Take your details etc and your partners details :) Ask about any previous pregnancies etc. Ask if you've experienced any bleeding etc. Check what Vitamins you are on xD :) xx

They will ask about you last menstrual period, then she will book you in for a scan :) You'll get a letter a week or soo later..telling you where to go for your first scan :)

I have no idea what my weight is now but I'm sure I have put on weight especially In the chest region. As for bleeding I've experienced none so far. Previous preg had a miscarriage . Vitamins preg care max one

My bmi was in the middle but haven't got a clue where it is now

What's combined screening

Ok measures for downsydrome and takes my blood at ultrasound I think I will go for that as more than likely my husband will be there will me

Yeah, checks the risk of downsyndrome by taking measurements in the scan and testing the blood xD :) It's up to you...I didn't want to get the checks done...but I accidently agreed to them. I couldn't be bothered to tell my midwife to change it :)

They didn't check my height, weight or bmi, she didn't take my bloods either, my first appointment she came round, checked my blood pressure, arranged my scan and then asked a few questions x
