well ive just called the doctors to book my first apointment as i havnt been to doctors since i have found out im pregnant.
they said i dont need to see a doctor but they will be book me in with the midwife. but my apointment isnt until 3rd January, so ill be 10 weeks and so many days.

does this sound right? it seems like i should have seen someone before then, even just for the doctors to confirm the pregnancy.
i dont know it might just be me.

I didnt see a MW until 9 weeks

sounds about right, we don't see anyone until 12 weeks now, i think it varies area to area

yes the woman i spoke to on the phone she said you usually see the MW between 8 and 12 weeks but she was fully booked until jan so ive got the earliest i can.
i just wanted to see a doctor/MWbefore xmas a we are planning on telling everyone on xmas day.
thanks

Yeah thats about right, i went to see MW when i was about five weeks but you dont really need to go that early, they dont really do anything, just take your history and give you some info etc. I am seeing mine again in two weeks, so i will be 12 weeks by then. Then first scan on the 4 January yay!!!

I went to see my new doc on mon.. told him im pregnant...
He just told me to see the receptionist, fill out some forms & said I'll get an appt from the hosp.. Is that it??

Is the letter from the hosp going to be a scan letter or midwife?? confused!!

I got a letter from my MW and hospital for scan so I wouldnt worry 2 much

Perfectly normal unless theres reasons why they like to check on yoru first (miscarriages, etc).

ok thank you girls.
im not to worried about it now,
only 2 more weeks til i see her now.

this happened with me when i called the doctors, the receptionist asked why i needed the appointment and i said id had a pos preg test back she said you dont need a doctor its the midwife i see but i always thought doctor had to confirm the pregnancy first then refer you to a midwife but i gues its all changed now hope everything goes ok with the midwife when you see her good luck and have a nice xmas x
