Got a BFP this morning 
Now what? Do I go see a doctor? When do you do a first scan and where does that happen? We arent telling family until we've seen a heartbeat. |

Congratulations Azza 
The consensus is different for different people. Some people go to the GP, others just go straight to the midwife. I personally go straight to the midwife - I made contact when I was roughly 5 weeks and am meeting her today. I think she will give me a form for baseline bloods and the form for the first scan. The first scan is generally around 13 weeks if you want a nuchal scan, earlier if needed for dating or any complications etc. Congratulations again - see it isn't over until the fat lady sings - how many DPO are you now? ------------- Caroline, SAHM to 2 boys, S (4 years old) and J (2 years old)

If your looking for a good midwife on the Shore try Maternity Associates in Apollo Drive. They are all pretty fantastic and have VBAC experience

Thank you! Thats where my doctor is too so I will definitely check them out. She seemed to think they were only partially subsidised though, do you know how true that is? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I am with Maternity associates (MW is Delwyn Evans and although I have only meet her once she came recommended from a friend and seems lovely and even Ella took to her) and as far as I know they are fully funded. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Mum2Ella, we have the same MW  my DD loves her too.
Fully funded, not sure why your GP would think that they were only partially subsidised. ------------- Proud mummy to two beautiful little girls and a precious little boy <3 |
