UK moms to be ... Is this right?

becca
So I called the doctors around 5 weeks to say I was pregnant and all they have done is taken my details and told me the midwife will be in touch around 8 weeks. So I have not seen a doctor so far I am almost 7 weeks now, it just feels odd to have not seen a doctor at all and to be waiting on this midwife to randomly ring. Is that how it's meant to be?
