    I have a feeling I`m pregnant, period over5 days late along with other symptoms! Going to get a pregancy test kit after work to confirm delighted as we are married alomost two years and just started ttc last month. My question is if i discover that I am pregnant what is the next step, do I make an appointment with the doctor asap or leave it for another few weeks.x

    Yeah make your GP appointment straight away. All they'll do is take your blood and send a letter to the antenatal clinic. Depending on the hospital etc it could be 20 weeks before anything else happens.

    Theres no problem going to the doctor straight away. Mine just did another test and worked out my due date. Depending on your hospital choice you could be called within a few weeks with an appointment to see the midwife. My GP arranged everything and the Coombe phoned and sent out details to me within a week. I met the coombe midwife at 10 weeks and had my first scan at 13.

    Congrats and I hope everything goes well.:p
