We heard baby's heartbeat for the first time! It was amazing And 158bpm, a little above average she said but ok.
My blood pressure has gone up to a normal level (from 110/50 in Oct to 130/68 today) and I'm measuring at 24 weeks exactly.
So everythings just right
My only problem is that my usual midwife is off for 3 months, which means she'll only be getting back to work when I'm about 38 weeks! And until then I could be seeing every midwife under the sun
Ah well, not long to go now

Glad to hear everything went well. I have my 20 week appointment today and my midwife is gone as well, but only on holiday. I am looking forward to this appointment because she commented at my last appointment that at this one, she would be able to feel where the baby is.

Glad everything went well at your appointment!
Don't worry about seeing all the different midwives until your's returns. Its a good thing, just in case a surprise happens in the end and your midwife can't be there for the birth.
With this pregnancy the prenatal care I'm getting consists of meeting the entire team of female doctors at the clinic. So I don't have just one doctor. That way, if I go into labor, I know everyone and won't be a surprise like what happened with my son (ended up having a doctor I had never met because of preterm labor, which was upsetting ).
