    is your DH RH- too?? if he is you wont need the anti d

    but everything else has been covered... if you think nothing has changed since your DS and you dont want to have the bloods you dont have too
    Nup, he's positive. And both DD and DS have taken on my 'negativity' lol!

    I went to the Dr thinking this is what I had to have (blood tests). GP tells me as I'm not a 'shared care' patient they don't have to have anything to do with me anymore and she sent me on my way. Geez, I wasn't really feeling the love.

    So far I keep banging my head against walls. Added on top of the phone call where they re-scheduled my first midwife appt without even consulting me - the new time doesn't work for me. I just want some clarification and to know where I stand with my 'care' this pregnancy. And no health professional seems to give a toss! Sorry, rant over!

    That's wierd cause with my first I had my bloods done with my GP with no intention to share care and just took a copy of the results to my irst antenatal appointment.

    Thanks hun! Much appreciated.

    I just really need to work this out so I have some kind of action plan. Do I sound like a control freak much?? Refer to the VBAC / EVAC discussion thread .

    Mummaalice - nothing surprises me with the Dr's I come across. I so wish I could return to my fave Dr, and dare I say the best in Adelaide. Grrrr family spats!

    I would also ask that they include Vitamin D in your tests - a Vitamin D deficiency is fairly common these days and should definitely be addressed earlier rather than later.
