Consultant Visit

17+6 today (18+6 Dating Scan wise) and I have met my doctor in the hospital. He is the 'leader' of the Team I am assigned to.

The blood tests at my first antenatal visit are all negative:
• full blood count / haemoglobin level (to detect anaemia)
• blood group (which blood group and rhesus factor)
• Syphilis
• Varicella / Chickenpox (> 100 mIU/ml)
• HIV antibody
• Rubella / German measles (> 10 IU/ml)
• Hepatitis screening

The Dating Scan (Transabdominal US with GE Voluson 730) by the sonographer says:
• presentation: cephalic
• amniotic fluid: noral
• placenta: grannum grade 0, structure: normal

And interestingly the doctor put my dates to 18+3! It is hard to follow now how many weeks and days exactly I am at the moment. GP said one thing, hospital midwife calculated a day less, Dating Scan measured a week more, doctor came up with a fourth one ;-))) This is why I will stick to my LMP count...

The doctor performed a mini scan at the end of my visit. It was nice to see BabyBunny again!
