One last update, didn't end up going to Dr, just rang a m/w, she has taken me on (woohoo) have been for bloods and have my first meeting with her tomorrow.   Again, thanks for the replys/advice. Guess I will be hanging round here a bit more often ]]> Tue, 30 Aug 2011 18:54:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1381984&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1381984 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1378806&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1378806 Author: AandCsmum

Ohh 5 year gaps Love it, surprisingly it all comes flooding back.

I didn't bother with the doctor this time around, just rang a mw. Mw's are capable of doing everything a dr does when reporting a pregnancy.]]> Mon, 22 Aug 2011 09:43:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1378806&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1378806 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1378779&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1378779 Author: Isabella

Hey thanks for the later replies. I started taking Folic a couple of months back (when I started ttc) and have read recently about the iodine thing. Thanks for the advice on the MW, guess I better get the phone book out, Im only 5 weeks (today) going by my last period so was going to do the 12 week wait.   This is my second pregnancy (with a five year gap) so its almost like starting over.

Cheers again

I called a MW at 4w+2d this time (which is when i found out) because I wanted a specific one. I'm due at the beginning of the month, but she was booked out a week after I called.

I agree don't bother with a doctor, but a good midwife makes a world of difference so get in early while you have more choice ]]> Fri, 19 Aug 2011 08:50:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377795&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377795 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377758&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377758 Author: jazzy

I was over 6weeks with my first before going to the Dr & confirming it...& then got a m/w & ended up not liking the m/w so changed to a hosp m/w where I worked.

I never had any probs getting m/w's even for my Dec baby.

Congrats & all the best ]]> Fri, 19 Aug 2011 07:25:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377758&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377758 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377737&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377737 Author: High9

Ditto on the MW! I found out lateish - about 8 weeks and I rung about 10 midwives before finally finding one! ]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:12:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377737&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377737 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377719&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377719 Author: Plushie

You don't have to go to a doctor at all, but definately get a MW organised ASAP as the good ones go pretty darn quickly ad you'll be needing antinatel blood work done and a script for iodine and colic acid if you aren't already on them.

Congratulations an enjoy this very exciting time]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:14:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377707&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377707 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377679&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377679 Author: Nikki

Midwives book up really quickly, I'd get on to that sooner rather then later.

Thanks for that! I'm in no hurry to go to the dr either, was hoping I could just go straight to midwife. Will wait it out a bit, then try and find someone.

i think getting it confirmed is up to you. It does help make it more official etc, but I never raced to the doc and wasnt in a rush to get a midwife either.

BTW congratulations!!!!]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:10:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377656&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377656 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40233&PID=1377651&title=please-help-answer-some-questions#1377651 Author: LIL

Hi there,

I missed my last period (due 13th Aug)   Did a HPT on the 16th which showed positive. Just wanting to know, do I need to go to a doctor to have pregnancy confirmed or can I wait out 12 weeks and find a midwife???

Cheers
