When I was around 28 weeks pregnant I started looking into antenatal classes (roughly translated as – ¨I started to c**p myself) I couldn´t wait to meet my little boy but I still had to get him out – ouch!!.
My Spanish wasn´t really good enough to get me through antenatal classes, I really wanted to make sure I really knew the score, not really the time for guessing!. So I did a bit of research and found an Irish midwife based on the Costa del Sol.
I had a choice of two dates for the classes, the first would be in December and the second towards the end of January. I decided that I didn´t want to risk waiting until January in case he decided to come early so opted for the December classes.
Around this time I had one of my routine check up with the doctor where he informed me that I needed to have an anti-D Jab because my blood group is rhesus negative (it stops your body producing anti-bodies if your baby has rhesus positive blood group and your blood mixes).
I had been feeling a little unwell that week and hadn´t felt ¨Disco Charlie¨move around as much as normal so whilst I was at the clinic I popped in to see the midwife and she checked his heartbeat. Everything seemed fine and his little heart was beating away as normal.
A few days later I met up with the Irish midwife to have a chat before the antenatal classes and I mentioned to her that I didn´t feel too well and described my symptoms. She advised me that if things were the same the next day I should visit the hospital to get checked out.
rence, they have everything you need there including 24 hr emergencies.
