hiya
i am trying to make up my mind on when to go to my doctors...i really really dont want to go back to the southern general so dont know if i can just go to another hospital in glasgow or not (any info on this would be wonderful)
also i am thinking i want to give it a good few weeks before going to doctors, but mum thinks i should go just now
any ideas/opinions???

I think its your right to decide on your hospital - I certainly would demand it if thats how I felt!

Your doctors hun ... YES get the pregnancy confirmed ASAP for many reasons x

You can choose what hospital you go to, Robs sister got to choose between the Southern General and the Royal Infirmary

You should be able to choose which hospital you want to go to so don't let them try to bully you.

But I would definately go to the docs. I have been but only for them to check my blood HCG levels and confirm the pregnancy. My thinking is that hopefully things will be ok and I can get the support from them that I need to ease my concerns but if things go wrong I have the amunition I need to get refered for tests.
I haven't made an appointment with the Midwife yet until I feel comfortable.

Good Luck
