hehe - I'm wondering the same. I don't have a regular doctor either because I'm on a different ins plan this year and the place I used to go to isn't on the plan. I looked up an obgyn from this plan and think I will call them tomorrow, since I will have 'officially' missed my period by then.

I went at 6 weeks but they thought I was 8 weeks. They don't do anything useful when you go, just asked me if I had done a test, said congratulations and sent me back to reception to make an appointment in a few weeks to see the midwife. Don't leave it too late hun because if there is a long wait at your hospital for a scan it will mean you have to wait ages. xxxx

Hi ladies,

If it helps, I called my gyno at 4 weeks and 3 days and they said they wanted to see me at 6 weeks. Althought they couldn't get me in until 7 weeks! It feels so far away....!

I contacted my GP after I had a positive pregnancy test - they wanted a urine sample to confirm it.

Im in the u.s. - here they wont see you to confirm pregnancy - they have your first appt set up for 8 weeks.

I saw mine at 4+6. They took my word re the positive, gave me a bunch of leaflets and stuff and informed the midwife who contacted me today for an appointment.

The only reason I saw the doc was to get medication changed. If it wasn't for this I would have just booked straight with the midwife.

Im 8 weeks and seeing the midwife on thursday.

I called my local maternity unit to ask when I should book as with my first I didnt get seen until I was about 14 weeks, so missed my first scan. They said the midwives are happy to see expecting mothers from 8 weeks.

I went at 9 weeks all they said was they would pass my info onto the midwife and if I haven't had a call from her in the next 2 weeks to phone and let them know. So i'm just waiting now!
