I have done a pregnancy test and it turns out that I am pregnant. Should I visit my GP?

If you are not sure you don’t have a STD you should visit your GP to have it checked out. But if you have never taken any risk you can visit your doctor, but this is not really necessary. In the Netherlands girls normally call a midwife for an appointment after being pregnant for 8 to 10 weeks. It usually takes some weeks before you can come by. You can phone the doctor’s assistant for a reliable address. At the first visit they sometimes use an instrument that amplifies sounds, making it possible to hear the heartbeat of your child. The midwife calculates the date you can expect delivery. If there is any uncertainty about the date an echo can be made
