Don't wana go to doctors

As I posted before I lost my baby girl at 23weeks. I'm pregnant again I think 6weeks or slightly less and I can't bring myself to go to the doctors. I'm taking pregnacare tablets. But don't feel ready for all the reminders. I feel panicked to think about going and have avoided it twice now. Feel I still need some more time to get used to another baby. Does that make me sound bad or neglectful of this pregnancy?

Thank you. I know I should go but here they don't do bloods all they do is give you folic acid and take your details for a midwife to call with apt. Just think maybe I should use these few weeks to get used to it. I feel guilty to start being happy or except I am x

You should go to the doctors. Just to make sure to avoid anything that could come up. My friend is pregnant for the the 10 time and after she lost her 4th kid in a row she started going to the doctors to prevent it from happening again. She is now pregnant with her 6th child. So she was just like u didnt want to go but after losing her first  on her 5 she started going and hasnt had any miscarriages since.

Your feelings are perfectly ok. Most doctored don't do anything other then blood work at this point. My doc has book my first appointment at 12 weeks that's a month away. Hold off a week then see how you feel.  Maybe what you can do is make an appointment and go see your doctors. Tell him how you feel, talk it over and then see what you are comfortable with.  But the reality is your   Pregnant and no matter how long you hold off your still pregnant
