I apologise from the outset that I can't do emoticons as dd1 has spilt coffee on the keyboard and some of the keys stick!
My old doctors surgery has closed so am with a new fandangled one.
Just found out I am expecting dc3 so went to surgery to arrange a booking in appointment and told must see a gp first -why - I never did at my old practice.
Then told the midwife won't want to see me before 10 weeks anyway - hey!
I explained that I would need to have a booking appointment no later that 7 weeks as I would need to have a dating scan at the Fetal Care Unit at about 8 weeks so that I could have a CVS at about 12 weeks - wouldn't be able to arrange this if I saw the midwife at 10 weeks!
I explained I am 41 and did this for my last 2 pregnancies - and obviously older now.
The receptionist said " Well the midwife may see you before"
Do I have to see the GP first, can I just book in to see the midwife andor can I just book myself into the Fetal Care Unit for a scan
Would be grateful for guidance.
Thanks

Advice please - Is this right - apparently I have to see a GP before I can book in with the midwife - and then I have to wait until 10 weeks before I can have a booking in appointment.
