Hi, first time post be gentle!
I'm 6weeks pregnant with dc3.
My dc are 10 and 8 so a bit of a shock surprise. Anyhow I called the docs yesterday to make an appointment to confirm my pregnancy but can't get an appointment for 3 1/2 weeks. This will make me around 10 weeks.
It's been a while since I've done anything remotely babyish but should I not book in with the local midwife around 8weeks? (I'm in Scotland)
Been a while this is all rusty!

Yep, you should make a midwife appreciate for 'booking in'. There's no need for a separate docs appt. They pretty much just take your word for it that you're pregnant!
Congratulations.
