No harm giving them a call just to see. If they are busy you could be waiting for an appointment. I'm going private in a hospital here-REALLY want the same consultant I had for my last baby so am going to make sure we ring soon and book in with her if she's still there. I'm hoping for an early scan around 8-9 weeks or so.
I went to my doctor when I found out at 3 weeks. She just checked my blood pressure etc and gave me my paper work for the oodles of bloodwork!!! I see her again in a month for my "first prenatal" so she just said to get the bloodwork done in a couple weeks :) she was happy I came in early!
We've been meaning to change surgeries for a while so will definitely get the paperwork back to them now! Then when they say we're in, I'll get onto the midwife. No rush as they won't see me for a few weeks - but will demand an early scan as I had cysts with both boys and I keep getting a sharp pain in the same place.
We're in the process of moving 3.5 hours north, so I will have to find a new midwife all together (which makes me sad because I absolutely adore the one I've had; she's a great friend and a wonderful care provider). I will probably interview 2-3 of them a couple of weeks after I move into our new house (which would put me at 8-9 weeks along). I typically don't even have my first prenatal until 13ish weeks anyhow.
I usually ring around 7/8 week...make sure they have plenty of time to sort out a scan x
i think i let my mw know i was prego and gonna be seeing her again around 15weeks. we shall see this time:) just love chatting w/ her:)
