First time mummy, BFP - now what?

[Louisac93]

Hi ladies
Hope you are all well
Got our BFP today.... I have this huge overwhelming feeling and wonder what on earth happens now? 😂😂 xx

When we got our BFP I was like 😳😳😳😳 for a few days and we were actively trying!
Just give your doctors a call tomorrow and ask to book in to see a midwife, which will be your booking in appointment.
All you've got to do then is just wait for the appointment, not much else you do in the early stages, just hope you're symptoms are too severe!
Congratulations! 💐💐💐

Depending where you are some people need to ring and book via their GP for a referral some can do an online self referral for the midwives. They then contact you for your booking in appointment. Also get some Folic acid to take. X x hope your symptoms aren't too bad x x

Congratulations! I would ring your GP tomorrow, but some won't help you.

With me I had to self refer to the hospital and the GP didn't get involved. It's a very weird feeling having to just "wait" but the booking in appointment might not be til 9.5 weeks.

Congratulations again!

Congrats!

Ring your GP to find out what the protocol is in your area. Mine just told me to ring back at eight weeks to be put in touch with midwife.

I filled out a form on my hospitals website, didn’t involve the GP at all. Google your hospital + maternity referral and see if you find anything. Congrats!

Congrats on your bfp! I got mine yesterday too (although I have an 8 month old son). In my area you don't bother with the GP, there's an online self referral form for my local hospital- they will then send through a booking in appointment for around 8 weeks.

Congrats!
