when did u book @ ur hospital

[Sterla]

I suppose it works differently everywhere. For me, I went and saw a doctor when I first thought I was pregnant, and she referred me to the antenatal clinic at the local hospital. I received a letter in the mail telling me of my first "booking in" appointment, which was at about 12 weeks. Because I have all my check-ups, etc at the hospital, the booking in is kind of automatic. I think it probably works differently at different places, and probably depends on what kind of care you have - GP, midwives, etc. If you're worried, ring up your hospital and just ask them what the procedure for it all is. Hope this helps .

My hospital woulndt ccept bookings till 20 weeks - my first appt will be at 31 weeks, bit peeved at that actually!

i was 12 weeks. My hospital rushed me in as they have an appointment at 12 weeks!

However with DD i didnt have my 1st appoitnment at the hospital (different one obviously) until 28 weeks.

SO i think best you ring and check

I was told by my GP to decide where I wanted to go and if it was private, you are better off ringing sooner than later to make a booking as they book up. So I had my OB appointment, blood test done and everything booked by 8 weeks. but as everyone said, it all depends where you want to go.

i started seeing my midwife at 5 weeks and she booked me in to see the OB at the hospital at 20 weeks.

so i was booked in for my 20 week hospital check at 5 weeks. I also seen my midwife at 8,13,16,19 weeks too..

I booked at 14 weeks and was told that was almost too late! Must depend on the hospital I guess! With Izzy it was around 6 weeks.

last time i rang and registered at 6 weeks and had my booking in appt at 12 weeks.
this time i rang at 4 weeks and they seemd in shock that anyone would ring so early. I've still hear nothing back from them, supposedly they will mail me out an appt and some info, but not til close to my appt. I dont uinderstand why they cant send it to me early, even it the appt is not til 12 weeks, so i at least know Im properly registered
