Hey looking for other mums due in December who live in the unuted kingdom. Finding this app helpful but thr chat is so conflicting as a lot of people are from USA and there care is so different. I am finding myself super jealous they have already seen there babies and im having to wait til 13 weeks. Im 10weeks pregnant with my first. Due around 10th December x

Thanks kit_kat. I didn't realize that. Do they do your sonograms as well?

[kit_kat85]

Yeah we don't see a doctor unless we are high risk or something wrong it's mainly midwife led care in the uk xx

Hi, also from the UK. I'm due 8th Dec, had my first appt at 7 and first scan will be 12 weeks and 3 days :)

Is having a midwife, not just an OB/GYN a really common thing in the UK?

I'm I'm the uk I paid for a private scan due to seeing so many people having early scans and losses :-( thankfully everything was ok I saw the midwife last week at 8 weeks and had my bloods and booking in now I don't see her again until I'm 16 weeks but I'm high risk so see the consultant next week at the hospital. My dating scan is on the 5th June feels like forever away xx

hey I'm from the UK n iv found this app very much the same. A lot of Americans with different health care. I'm only 8 n half weeks n don't have my first midwife appointment till next week. A lot of other ladies on here have already had their scan! nor long though...will be worth that wait :)
