Hi Sidekick, my gp appt only took about 5 mins and he gave me a rough idea of how far gone he thought I was, he gave me a list of things not to eat and asked me to book in with the midwife. I think that was about it!! I dont think they generally do test you again as the home tests are so good now and I think the same as what they would use anyway. Hope this helps!!

Sidekick, it depends on where you are in the country, but normally the doctor will just take your word for it and refer you to the midwife. I had to fill in some forms and was given the Emma's Diary book too.

i sk, if it was like my gp , i said i am prenant , from a positive preg test , he said congratulations, book in for midwife , and ill see you soon , but everywhere is different , they dont usually do BT , they just go by your word, the MW will do bp, bt , weight etc on your first booking in with her

Sidekick2

if they go by my word i'm going to have to spend another £10 and do another test because i still can't believe it :-( i also want a scan before I fly to Australia on Dec 3rd...do you think this is possible? Would I have to go private?

nikkit72

you get a 12 week one , so it all depends if youe hospital has spaces , looks like you may need to go private to be guaranteed the date

Sidekick2

^ I'll have to go private because there is no way in hell anyone (including me) will know how far along I am until I get a scan.

This is all rubbish

But if you tell the Dr you have no idea how far along you are you may be able to get a scan sooner rather than later. Tell them the furthest you think you could be and see what they say.

SK, I believe there are some pregnancy tests that will tell you how far along you are. I haven't used them, so I don't know a lot about them, although they may not be that reliable, it could give you a bit more of an idea than you have now.

I'm thinking I'll tell them my last period was time time early September. Although in all honesty I can't recall a period since glastonbury festival in June - but i know i've had periods after that I just can't remember when. If I say early Sept that'll be 2 months gone and hopefully i'll get a scan in the next couple weeks. Thanks

SK , can you not do the clear blue digital preg test , it will tell you how far gone you are ???
