I'm Currently Feeling:  | I cant really help hun as ive not had a home visit, ive always gone to the GP surgery instead! I imagine it will be pretty much the same though, she will prob just check your blood pressure and have a chat to you about how the pregnancy has been so far. She might also want to take some blood. I was petrified because I hate needles with a passion but it was no where near as bad as i thought.
good luck anyway and let us know how it goes

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My first midwife appointment was a home visit. I was about 45 minutes long. We filled in paper work etc. I don't think you really need to be prepared. Good luck! |

It'll be fine.... you don't need to prepare for the first ones as such.. it's when they start on the 'down below' stuff that you need to 'prepare'. 
I was doin driving lesson when I was preggers with Ethan, and I passed my test about 2 months before he was born. Good Luck with it, play on the whole pregnancy thing, I swear I just passed because he was worried he might send me into labour |
