So I found out I was pregnant (boxing day) and at a guess around 6 weeks. I rang my doctor and they have booked me in to see the midwife when I'm around 11 weeks. Is this normal not to see anybody at all till 11 weeks 🤷‍♀️

Hmm seems abit late to me.. I had mine at 8 weeks... I thought you had to have bloods taken before 10 weeks? But I may be wrong as this is my 1st pregnancy 🤷‍♀️

Yes totally normal booking app is anything from 8-10/11 weeks will depend on your area and appointment availability.

I had mine around 8 weeks too

I saw my midwife just before 8 weeks as you need to get blood tests done at 8 weeks and your midwife will give you the form. I would try to find out who your midwife is and book something. My gp surgery gave me the midwives number and I called and booked in with them.
