    It depends on the GP and what his qualifications are.
    Mine is qualified to practice obstetrics obstetrics, so he can but doesnt tend to unless you really want one.
    HE attends at the hospital and delivers the baby though (assuming he gets there)

    My GP won't. Like Pandora said, it depends on their qualifications. My GP is not obstretics trained, so if I were to want/need an internal & sweep, then I'd be required to attend the hospital and see an OB.

    Thanks Girls. I'm not sure on the qualification. I do know they have to do extra study to be able to do shared care so I'll ask.

    I had a stretch and sweep and my gp wouldn't do it - Had to go up to the hospital... But in saying that your gp may be happy to do it. Good luck!!
