Congrats on becoming an aunty-to-be! I can't answer your questions about what to do or say. My only suggestion would be to book her into a GP before an ob as she will need a referral to be able to claim the ob on Medicare. She probably doesn't even need an ob at this stage as a GP should be able to book in a dating scan for her. I would probably keep the ob appointment JIC, but get a GP appt in beforehand and request the referral. If she is a broke as you say, she may not be able to afford an ob for the whole pg. HTH
Thanks. I was shocked at first to hear the news but have become excited that we will have babies so close in age.
I was meant to say a gp/ob. He bulk bills and will go through the public system so that will hopefully help save money. He is also very nice so I'm hoping she will feel she can trust him.
Perhaps someone could even share what it was like to have an unplanned pregnancy, go through a pregnancy without a partner or becoming a sole parent early in the parenting journey. I figure the more I know about the ups and downs the more I can be there for her.
