I am a 25 year old female. I was diagnosed with a primary brain tumor in June 2008 and underwent surgery to remove it. It was the size of an apple and diagnosed a grade 2 tumor. It grew back in September 2008 and that's when i began rigorous radiation and oral chemotherapy (Temozolomide). My recent MRI has showed the regrowth of the tumor to be "gone." The plan is to take the Temozolomide for 2 years along with Accutane (which helps the oral chemotherapy work better).
Any mummies on here from the UK? im a FTM and just had my 20 week scan..
Is any one from the UK?
I was just wondering if any one is from the UK on this app?
In the UK, do they check for dilation? Only really heard it done in USA, and I'm 37 haven't been checked so far!
I'm the UK they won't induce you till after 41 weeks if there isn't a medical reason, usually they date of induction will be closer to 42 weeks.
They dont check u internally in uk, & appointments r usually 2 weeks unless something came up i e size etc. U can always pop into ur local drop in clinic, if u read ur green folder it does say it in there on page where they explain head engagement etc.
Rang a week ago not heard anything how long is it for them getting in touch after uv rang the doctor? I rang doc n they sed they'll refer me and the midwife will call me ...
I'm UK and saw midwife at just over 8 weeks. I booked the appointment though when I was 5 weeks.
Do uk midwifes check how dilated you are at your check ups? And what do they actually check when you get towards the end of your pregnancy.
Do uk midwifes check how dilated you are at the end of your pregnancy at your checks ups, what do they actually check when you get to the end? And how do they decided on whether you get to be induced or not?
In the UK if you request a private room do you normally get one? Or what do I have to do to get one? Do I just talk to my midwife about it?
Hi I am from the UK but currently live in the US so know how both systems work. I would recommend seeing the specialist privately in the UK. It's usually not too expensive and you can be seen within days. For something like your eyes, this is a good investment believe me. In the US, you can see whoever you want......but believe me also when I tell you the bills are scary. Even with insurance! Don't hate on the NHS just yet.
