How soon to visit doctor?

Hi everyone! Still a bit new here.. apologies if I'm doing this wrong.

Just found out that I am pregnant.. (2 days late), after having a miscarriage in June. Any advice as to when I should visit the doctor? I went with first pregnancy, at about 6 weeks, all she did was tell me to eat well and take things easy, and refered my for a midwife appointment (which incidentally arrived the day I m/c'd)
Wondering whether to leave it for a few weeks.. til I'm a bit further on. On the other hand after the m/c I would like as much help and reassurance as possible... Many Thanks

Welcome,
You should go to your GP and get a refferal to the mw, from there on she will tell you when to see her and refer you to a consultant if need be.
Congrats and Good Luck!

I don't know how the ante natal care works in your area but here you now get a 9 week scan so you'll need to visit the gp as soon as possible to get everything moving. Also, you can have your pregnancy put on your medical notes and get your exemption certificate so even you don't see a MW for alttle while I think it's always best to go sooner.

If you go now you can also get folic acid on prescription
