First appointment

[Kathryn08]

Hi there, I'm 6 weeks pregnant - I went to the doctor last week and he said the midwife/hospital would be in touch for my first appointment-but I can't remember when he said that would be! (Baby brain already!) just interested in when other people had their first appointment. I'm a bit nervous as its my first pregnancy, so hope it will be quite soon!

I think mine was about 8-9 weeks.

Nothing to be nervous about, they just go through your medical history, your partner's relevant medical history, may do some blood tests, ask if you've though about how you want to give birth and how you intend to feed baby, give you lots of leaflets.

Hi im 6 weeks today and had a letter this morning for my first midwife appointment next thurs. I notified the midwife team I was pregnant when I was only four weeks though

About 8 weeks is normal but before 12 is expected.

PS Congratulations!

9 weeks.

I am almost 8 weeks and had my booking appointment today. I rang my gp last Friday morning who told me a midwife would ring me. My midwife rang me later that same day and I went to meet her today. I believe they try and get you in for a booking appointment before you are 10 weeks. Exciting times

I was 10 weeks for my first appt

My first appt was my booking in at 12+4.

Congratulations. Make sure you tell the MW (if asked) that you intend to BF, even if you haven't made your mind up yet. It will save you the lectures

At my gp's you can book your Booking appointment between 8-10 weeks .

I was also told anywhere between 8-10 weeks they like to do it. X

My booking in appointment was at my 12 week scan.

I have my booking appointment next Tuesday when I will be 9 weeks and 4 days according to LMP. I am told it will take around 90 minutes though I don;t recall it being so lengthy when I was pregnant with my DDs, though my last pregnancy was eleven years ago so things have changed somewhat!! From what I can gather, they don't like to do these before 8 weeks due to the high risk of MC in those early weeks. I did not have to go through my GP, just rang the local childrens Surestart centre, gave them my details and they booked me in there and then over the phone...

I'VE just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Been trying for 4 years and our little boy will ne 9 in February!!! In total disbelief.........

Ps to reply to your post, I was told 12 weeks. But I should get an early appt due to a medical condition (migraine) ??

Congratulations weelamb123!

Thank you. I'm 35 now and a bit worried.....??

Congratulations :) ... I think my booking appointment was at just over 9 weeks x

I have my booking in appt next week when I will be 8w+2d. With my last pregnancy they said allow one hour for the appointment but only took 30 mins.
