I have my first doctors appointment on Friday, since getting my BFP. What actually happens? I'm abit clueless, as it was so different in Spain when i had my daughter.

thanks

i posted asking this last week

i had my doc app last monday (the 14th) and she just said congratulations, worked out my due date, BP, weight and listened to my chest, she then made a booking in appointment with the midwife for the 20th Feb and gave me 2 books (ready, steady baby and a confidential record for me to fill in with the midwife)

and that was it!

Pretty much what was said above, maybe even less.

Mine just said congrats, worked out my due date with me, told me to book in with the MW for when I was 8 weeks plus (many don't book you in before that as there is nothing really to do) and that was it.

Congrats btw

They just work out your due date, check BP, and book your appt with midwife.

I got the ready steady baby book - but as far as I'm awear you only get that in scotland... although I might be wrong.

they'll work out your due date and refer you to your midwife and she'll contact you about 8 weeks or so to do your blood tests and book u in for a dating scan. Doc might give u a prescription for folic acid. Congratulations anyway.
