    That's good, great to hear that midwife is so thorough. Looking forward all the more now. Hope I don't have as long a wait though...:)

    I hady 20 week scan in the early pregnancy unit in portunicla also, I too am under dr brassil (well at this stage im in midwifry led care). Scan took about 50mins. I found it so worrying throughout, she ccouldn't get head measurments for ages anfd having a fairly good understanding of human amatomy (im a nurse) I was constantly looking and wondering rather than enjoying.

    Anyway there was a problem with kidneys. Both had excess fluid around them which meant I had to be reffered to Galway to see a fetal medical specialist. Was told it would be in next week or two and 4 weeks on id heard nothing so I started ringing here there and eveywhere and it turns out they forgot to arrange refferal.... so disapointing.

    Galway not going to c me cuz ideal time to scan (20weeks) had passed by 5 weeks and im having another anaolmy scan on 21st nov, ill be 33 weeks.

    Still though, important scans!!!

    That's so annoying Belinda. I've heard of lots of people being told the same thing at the 20 week scan about kidney problems and they often resolve themselves naturally at a later stage so hopefully all is fine with baby.

    It's awful the way you have to chase up on things yourself when really we haven't a clue what we're doing and look to them to advise. At my first appt I got history, bloods and scan done and the guy doing the scan said I could leave then, I had to point out I hadn't seen the midwife and the midwife who forgot about me had to be called back for her lunch when I repeatedly asked what was going on. Crazy!

    I was in and out of the maternity with blood pressure during my last pregnancy. I remember them releasing me from the antenatal ward one Friday evening on condition that I would come back into admissions on the Sunday for a bp check and a trace. Came back to admissions on the Sunday only to be told that because it was the weekend, my chart was still up in the antenatal ward and there was no porter on duty to go and get it. I was told I'd have to traipse up myself to get it because they were too busy to go get it for me. Went up myself and it took me about 15 minutes to explain the situation to the midwife on the ward who was looking at me like I was mad. Unsurprisingly after all that, my blood pressure was up and I was admitted again :mad: :(

    Hi all!
    First time posting in the pregnancy forums, due our first end of July! 😃 I recently heard that CUMH are going to be carrying out anatomy/anomaly scans routinely for all patients. Just wondering if anyone else has heard this?

    Hi guys,

    Not sure if this is the right place to put this but there is a research study going on in Cork which is looking into pre eclampsia and premature birth. It's called IMPROvED and basically you have 2 extra visits with a midwife and a 20 week growth scan. I know it's not the full anomaly scan but still it's something!

    You have to be a first time mum and under 17 weeks!!
