First midwife appointment tests

Hey, So I had my first midwife appointment at 7w. My blood results are on the app badger apart from 4 and just had a voicemail to say they want to talk to me about my results and will call back tomorrow. I am now so nervous as I have serious health anxiety so was wondering if this is the normal or not??

Hey lovely, what were the blood tests for? Remind me :) I know it's harder to practice, but tomorrow is around the corner. Sometimes doctors prefer speaking in person of the results show low in iron etc. it could be a very simple fix.

It could be because you have A- blood type. If you're negative and babies positive they can give you injections called anti-D injections for this. 🙂 May not be this at all but just came to mind looking at your blood type! Xx

Likely the negative blood type!

I just don’t understand why half of my results are on there and not the other half 😅 makes me so nervous

MSU is urine I think. The HIV / syphillis / hepatitis B ones maybe take longer to come back?

It’s likely they want to discuss your blood group and giving anti d. Most trusts the infection screen doesn’t show up as it’s a confidentiality thing on the notes system so if anyone is positive and partner is unaware it protects them Your HbA1c is also a little bit borderline so they may want to screen you for gestational diabetes a bit further into the pregnancy

@Mel the midwives don’t usually do scans (assuming it’s a midwife appt) - you’ll have to wait for your 12 week scan to get a scan on the nhs but you can get private reassurance scans 😁

If you have the nhs app, you can log into it and look at tests that have been carried out. I did mine today and saw what my gp had commented on and what they all meant xx

@Sonia this only works if the tests have gone via the GPs systems at some point. Mine never showed as the gp never requested or reviewed them
