Too early to see the midwife?

[Jules]

Hi

I am new to this forum! Did a Home Pregnancy test last Monday (period was due Thursday just gone) and it was positive, went to visit my doctor on the tuesday who said to wait a couple of weeks before booking in the see the midwife (he did not do another test).

tested the day after - positive, tested again Thursday and Saturday still saying positive!!

Is it too early to see the midwife this Thursday - I will be 5 weeks nearly 6 weeks?

I am unsure though whether i got pregnant the month before... i came off the pill two months ago, after 5 weeks got a small period (not too heavy), so presumed i was not pregnant. doctor said i could be pregnant from the month before which would mean about 8 / 9 weeks pregnant!

they will send you a letter out to go and see the midwife, they will do the normal checks on you like blood pressure, make sure or your details are right, and ask you a couple of question

So should i cancel the appointment i have made with her on Thursday? (Sorry I dont want to tell friends or family yet and this is my first time and not sure what to do!)

My doctor hasn't confirmed the pregnancy he just said wait a couple of weeks and then book in to see the midwife???

hey and welcome - my first time too and i cant wait to go and see the midwife and get everything checked out. i see mine at 7 weeks......if i were you id go anyway and tell her the doctor told you too! she'll be able to reassure you and put ur mind at rest and if you have to re book then no worries...better to be safe than sorry! and if ur 8/9 weeks then you should deff see the midwife - they might be able to tell you exaclty how opregnant you are! goodluck.fingers crossed for you. xxxxxxxx

Thanks for your replies, I just rang and checked at the doctors that it was ok to go see the midwife if 5/6 weeks and she said yes definately not too early!

I don't seem to have any symptom as yet, although a little more tired then usual, how was anyone else at 5/6 weeks? I am thinking i am more like this then 8/9 coz surely i would have had some symptoms by now. I now my mum and sister has horrendous morning sickness from finding out until the delivery room!! something which i am presuming i will have to look forward to!

Some people have no symptoms atall. You'll soon find out how pregnant you are and untill then enjoy not being sick
