Hello Mums,
I could use some help navigating the NHS system, if anyone has advice. I just moved from the US and am living in temporary housing, near Tower Bridge. My husband and I will be relocating to East Dulwich at the end of the month.
I'm honestly not sure where to start. Do I register with a GP first? Tour a hospital? I'm 27 weeks and will need the Rho-GAM shot in a little over a week - but the GP in my area didn't know what I was talking about when I called. And they were hesitant to treat me, as I won't be in the area long. I'm not sure if your prenatal visits are with your GP or with a midwife.
So, where does one start?
I am working for a UK company and have private insurance (not sure if I need it). I have yet to receive my NHS number yet.
Thank you for any advice!
