ttcanxiety,

As far as I know, you will probably go for your US in a week or two to give the baby time to develop enough for a sonographer to see it.
Wouldn't hurt to make another Dr appointment after that so you can discuss your care options and which OBs there are in your area. Your GP may organise for routine bloods to be done so basically they test for HIV Hep B Hep C Rubella etc.

From reading KSP's post it sounds like states vary for this next bit.

I am a public patient and I have appointments just with my Ob. I do see a MW before each appointment and she does the blood pressure readings, urine tests for protien etc.
Some Obs opt for shared care between themselves and your GP, this is what I did for my first pregnancy.

SO you organise your Ob and make your appointment to see them usually around the 10 week mark. Then they will organise the NT scan which tests for Downs Syndrome - this is optional. It involves a blood test and another Ultra SOund. Depending on the results you may have an appointment at 16 weeks - just a check up, then the 20 week scan (this is where you can find out what bubs sex is if you want) Its a bit like a dating scan and they check bubby all over. Then its every 4 weeks with your Ob until 30 week, then every 2 weeks until 34 weeks (I think) then every week after that.

As for booking your Hossy stay, I guess that depends on where you are planning to have bubby and what their policy is.

I will be booking in at my hossy at my next Ob appointment in 4 weeks (roughly 20 weeks).

This is basically what I know for my hospital and caregivers. It will vary considerably from place to place but this is just an overview from my knowledge of what they at my place.
