Hi there,
I am living in Scotland and am confused about the way antenatal care works here.
When I first discovered I was pregnant my GP sent me away again to bring in a sample the next week which I did. They confirmed a +ve pregnancy test and I booked another appointment - couldn't get the same GP (but that's a completly different gripe I have)who said he would refer me to the midwife.
That was two weeks ago and I am now 10 weeks pregnant and haven't heard anything. I know in England women can contact the midwives themselved but I got the feeling everything had to go through the GP here. The NHS website whilst really good does not cover Scotland and I can't seem to find out anything.
I work as a child-minder so taking a day off at short notice isn't ideal as we haven't told anyone and I like to give parents plenty of notice if I'm taking a day off - a courtesy I would expect.
If anyone could shed some light on when I should expect to be seen here? - how much notice were you given? and should I expect separate booking in and scan appointments or will it all be done at once?
I know I'm being a bit silly but any info would help.
Thanks,
Beth
