Hi there!
Living in the UK having moved over from the States a couple of years ago. this is my first pregnancy and I'm 7 weeks from the first day of my last period this thursday.
Ive been given dates for my nhs booking appt in mid Jan. This seems very far away to me. Is it normal to not see a dr at all until 12 weeks? It feels weird to be basically a third of the way through a pregnancy without seeing anyone.
I see on other boards that american women are getting their blood tested for HCG levels four and five times before the first sonogram to make sure the pregnancy is progressing well. Does that not happen here? Or does it and I need to be requesting it?
Would love some feedback, I'm just a little confused about how this all works. I haven't been able to talk to friends over here about it because my husband really doesn't want to tell anyone yet....
Thanks!
