    OP - Congrats on your pregnancy!

    I saw my usual GP right up until I had the NT scan done. As Tobily said OB's generally dont like to see you (unless you have history of m/c) until even after the 12 week mark. This is what my GP told me and also the lady at my OB's office said aswell when I phoned to make the first appointment. My first appointment with my OB wasnt until week 14 but that was purely my choice. I was happy to see my GP until then as all they are really doing is giving you your referrals for your scans and BT's. As tobily said not alot else you can do but relax and give the special little miracle you have created time to grow and grow!

    I booked my scans myself. I had a dating scan done at 8w 5d, the NT scan was done at around 12weeks and then the morphology scan done at 20 weeks.
    First two done at Southcoast Radiology and morph scan done at Queensland Ultrasound for Women.

    Good luck!
