Newly pregnant?
If you are pregnant and want to continue with the pregnancy, you should contact the booking bureau to commence your antenatal care. Your first midwife appointment (pre-booking) should be before 10 weeks.

Ask for a booking appointment with the midwife.
During the pre-booking appointment your midwife will take your medical, social and pregnancy history and make a plan for your antenatal care. She will then organise a further appointment for your first scan which will confirm your due date; this scan usually takes place between 11-13 weeks.
If you are undecided about continuing with your pregnancy or wish to discuss it further there are other options available, it is important to seek advice as soon as possible. Speak to the GP or contact Central Sexual Health for help and advice.
