Hi, I am 4 weeks pregnant. I called my GP surgery Wednesday to register myself as pregnant. I was told to self refer myself online, which I have done. I haven't heard from the midwife department yet and was wondering how long it usually take before I hear anything. I'm so excited & feel slightly impatient but I'm just desperate to get the show on the road 😂
I'm in Southampton FYI 😌

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Just wanted to update because we are in the same area/self-referred through the same system.

It took two weeks from my self-referral to when I then got an email to say I'd been added to badger notes (online maternity notes), however I couldn't log in yet because I hadn't got my passphrase from midwife. Today I had email to say my referral has been fully processed, been given my passphrase for badger notes and I am now into that. I have my booking appointment for when I will be 10+6.

So it may be that they will get back to you within a couple weeks, however I self-referred when I was 5 weeks, not 4 weeks, so was already a bit further along. 😊

I'm in Southampton too so you may be able to help, I'm currently 6+1 and self referred at 4 weeks, did you get anything through the post or all email? Xx

@ukMummyof1 it was all email. It may be that they actually wait until you're a certain point along before sending anything, because of chance of loss early on, if that makes sense. Got my booking etc today and I am 7+2. I was going to chase when I was 8 weeks if I hadn't heard anything by then.
