I called my dr and asked to see the midwife, however before they would let me book an appointment with her I needed to give them a urine sample for it to be sent to the hospital to confirm pregnancy - I'm west mids, UK.
If you call/go into the drs i would tell them that you want an appointment with the midwife rather than a dr, only because where I live I could have gotten an appointment with the dr, noone would have asked any questions and the appointment would have been pointless as here, I don't need to see my dr to tell them I'm pregnant only the midwife, so would have needed another appointment booking.
Over the phone they only asked me to drop them in a sample and then called me to confirm the pregnancy and booked me in with the midwife.
I had my first midwife apt today (early due to bank holiday and she only works a monday, normally she wouldnt see me until 8 weeks). I had weight, blood pressure and a feel of my tummy done alongside opening my green notes. So there were lots of questions about mine and my partners physical health (including whether I'd had any mental health concerns), any genetic illnesses, where I'd like to have my baby (home or hospital), previous pregnancies/children and when my last period was. She also gave me my EDD and blood forms to go and get my bloods checked. She also asked if I would like the downs syndrome testing as this is now done at my 12 week scan (previously it wasnt until the 20 week one).
She booked me in for when I'm 16 weeks and informed me that I would hear in three weeks or so through the post when my first scan will be.
Congrats and good luck!
