Who do you go to re pregnancy during lockdown?

[heretobeanonymous]

Just that really. Do I call my GP? I'm not even sure if they're open as I haven't been since December! Will they give me my green book and midwife appts, etc.?

GP. Call and make appointment / ask for advice.

Call GP or local maternity hospital and ask them what you should do. It varies between trusts even in normal times.

GP’s are definitely open but you need an appointment to get in so can’t just walk in anymore. Give them a call and they should refer you to a midwife. I think the midwives booking appointments are all over the phone now, unsure about the blood tests.

I think it's just the same as pre-covid.
In my area, you call the gp surgery and they give you the number to self refer to the local midwife unit.
You then get a booking in appt around 9/10 weeks.
I think the only difference now is that some booking in appts are being done by telephone and the blood tests/bp etc are being done at the first scan.

I self referred via my hospital’s website. Call the GP if in doubt. My booking was over the phone at 10weeks +5, then saw the community midwife at the GP surgery for blood &urine tests.

Most GP tell you to self refer for pregnancy with your local hospital which you do online at the local hospital website

I called my surgery. They completed the form with me over the phone. I then received a letter for booking in appointment. Part of it was done over the phone, a week later I went to the maternity clinic to leave my blood urine weight and BP.

Thank you all so much x

I self referred online from my local hospitals maternity unit with a quick google and soon got a 10 wk booking in app letter in the post so poss might be no need for GP and you can cut the middle man out
