Today I had my second appointment at Mater Womans Hospital, where we saw a wonderful obstetrician. We went over my history and he advised that they would follow the plan designed by North Shore Hospital except he would normally book in the c-section for 38 weeks, not 38.5 and although he doesn't see the point of extra antibiotics he will give them if I prefer. I'll leave that decision to later as he made a lot of sense but I'm still pretty scared on the chance of another infection once this little one is born.
I booked into the Mater's ultrasound department as the obstetrician would like me to keep tests and scans in house so everything is in their system electronically. We have a date of 11th October for our 12 week scan, and I need to go for a blood test 5 days prior, they use the results from both (scan & bloods) to work out what the chances of little one having downs syndrome or trisomy 21.
Next appointment with the obstetrician is in four weeks so fingers crossed we'll be able to hear little ones heart beat :-)
