Im only 14 weeks pregnant, so am new to all this. I am using shared care. Have had 3 visits with my GP so far, have my first appt with the hospital at 19 weeks. So far its been great. I have known my GP for about 20 years, so feel comfortable with her, and she knows my medical history. That was my main reason for choosing shared care. If I hadnt known my GP for very long, I would have gone with a midwife option at the hospital.
