Hi everyone, I'm about 5 weeks pregnant. I made an appointment with my GP as soon as I got a BFP. She was lovely but didn't do much except check I was taking my vitamins and discuss the medication I'm on.
She has said she's going to refer me to the midwife and she'll ring me to make a booking appointment, but that they are short of midwives (!) at the minute so it might not be till late September - I'll be 12 weeks by then and would have hoped to have my first scan by then, not just the first meeting with the midwife.
Is this normal? Can they organise the booking appointment and scan at same time when they ring me? It's my first pregnancy so I'm not sure what I'm meant to do till then! I'd really like to have had my scan before end of September as it's my mum's birthday and I want to be able to tell her then :-)
