My GP, although thorough, has said he didn't need to confirm my pregnancy. He got me to have every blood test under the sun though, (just not one confirming). Then my first midwife appointment, was just filling out forms with the midwife, such as domestic violence, health history etc. They said they don't weigh so I was quite relieved by that!! My next appointment of anysort (apart from u/s) is at about 15 weeks, with the Dr at the hospital, just to decide if I need a pap smear (have had trouble in the past). xo
