Finding out you’re pregnant – what to do next
As soon as you find out you are pregnant, please telephone your GP surgery and let them know that this is a new pregnancy. You will then have your first ‘booking’ appointment with a midwife.
The appointment will be up to an hour long, and the midwife will ask about your medical history, including pregnancy history, family history and your partner’s history.
You can also tell the midwife about any concerns you have and ask questions, book further antenatal appointments, and start to consider where you might wish to book your delivery.
Some people may wish to know more information about not continuing with the pregnancy, and this information can be found confidentially via the British Pregnancy Advice Service (BPAS) where you can speak to an advisor about what reproductive choices are available.
