Q: 1st Antenatal Appointment 2moro

Hi everyone

I have my first appointment tomorrow, I find it kind of strange that it will be with my GP not my midwife but I don't know if thats how the NHS is working nowadays in Scotland.

When I was there last week my Doctor asked me to bring a urine sample with me and to get a container from reception. I went to reception and the woman made me give sample at that time so she could send it away. I thought the tests would be done there and then on the urine like a dipstick to test for protein etc?

So I think maybe the receptionist has got mixed up and thought it was a pregnancy test I needed on it maybe? Maybe I should take another sample with me when I go just in case.

I'm going to try and arrange for an earlier scan, does anyone know when it would stop being a transvaginal scan and just a normal abdomen scan?

thanks
