with my first pregnancy i went ot a doctor to have her confirm that i was in fact pregnant and she straight away tried to find me an obstetrician.
I felt unsupported by my GP when I went to her for a referral for 12 weeks ultrasound for my current preg. She too asked me who my ob is and when I told her I'm having an independant midwife she told me, "You're very brave." while shaking her head in (I assume) astonishment or wonder.
Needless to say I won't be returning to that GP!
