The doctor prescribed my wife folic acid, rushed through some standard allergy/current medication questions, calculated a due date and said that a midwife would contact us at approximately week 10-11 to arrange a scan for week 12.
From other answers I've seen I'm not feeling very confident that we've had the right level of attention. Other people seem to have been prescribed vitamins, had blood and urine tests, pelvic/urethra exams, amongst other things. We were told that the surgery didn't even do pregnancy tests of their own.
- Is there a standard procedure that all UK GPs must follow when a patient visits following a positive home test?
- Is waiting ten to twelve weeks for any contact and tests/examinations sensible? What if there are problems with the baby and its development? Not wishing to start a different subject (and loathe to even think about it) but what if there is a medical reason that an abortion needs to be carried out, but we don't learn this until week twelve?
