First Midwife's Appointment

After yesterday's ups and downs it was nice to finally attend a scheduled midwife's appointment. Having never actually got this far previously this is quite a milestone for us. I think as a result my expectations were slightly higher; I think I was hoping for a badge or a fanfare! As it was our midwife was running rate, moaning about being overworked and understaffed, rushing us through the various banks of questions, forms, samples, tests etc. I suppose that in itself is quite reassuring; this is how normal pregnancies go. One thing that did cause some concern was the Wife's CO2 levels in her breath. Although only just above the base level, it'll be worth checking our gas boiler / car exhaust just to be on the safe side.
