I would wait, if you have any problems in the mean time[not that you will] but if oyu do then contact your hospital to find out if they have an early pregnancy unit.

Depends where you're moving to, but some places get booked up very early for ultrasounds, so leaving it until 9 weeks might be a bit tight for your 12-week scan. If that bothers you, it might be worth seeing if you can get registered with a GP/midwife at your new place as early as possible. But that's the only thing it matters for - my GP wasn't really interested in me being pregnant, and though I got referred to a midwife at 6 weeks (which meant I got signed up for a 12-week scan), I didn't actually have my 'booking in' appointment until 9weeks 5days.

Congratulations btw

Why not give the new surgery of your choice a call and explain the situation. They can then advise accordingly.

I moved house at 9w. I spoke to my gp at 7w (when we exchanged) and he recommended that commence the AN care, scans etc, with them - even though that meant some awkward trips back to London. Otherwise he felt thta I was likely to miss the window for dating scans and nuchal test etc. Luckily I did as he suggested, because my new HA doesn't provide nuchals at all.

It was a bit of a hassle to have to come back to London for everything, but I arranged all midwife appointments to happen on days when I had scans or bloodtests etc booked in any case. You don't have many mw appointments until about halfway through anywya. I transfered my care to my local HA once I had had the anomally scan.
