Hi I have just found out I'm 4/5 weeks pregnant. I already have DD but didn't find out I was pregnant till about 11 weeks with her so called my doctors as soon as I knew. But now I've found out early I don't know if I should ring the doctor and tell them now? I just know that it will drag this pregnancy because I've found out so so soon😫

Ring your GP to check protocol where you are.

Here you book a booking in app with Midwife for 9-10 weeks - It's booked via receptionist so no need to see a GP Smile

Oh and to add my last period was 28th July so I know they're going to say I'm 6+ weeks.. but I know I didn't ovulate till 22nd August

They will go by the dates of LMP until you have your dating scan where it may change. I was put a week a head if what I thought at the 12 week scan.

Easiest way is as pp said, call gp and see if they refer or if you can self refer for a booking in appointment with a midwife. Usually done before 10 weeks I believe.

Congratulations btw!
