No antenatal care until 10 weeks?!?

Does anyone find it so ridiculous that in the UK, we don't get antenatal care until we're 10 weeks pregnant? I have 2 children a 5 yo and 2 yo, when I was pregnant with my youngest son, I found out pretty early and had already confirmed by doctors and had a first appointment by 6 weeks. Now I have been told I have to make an appointment online (which was a nightmare in its self as its so complicated) when I called to say I haven't received an appointment they told me the midwife doesn't get in contact until you're 10 weeks pregnant! I can't belive how complicated it's become in the past 2 years and honestly what if there's a problem in my pregnancy? I know it's still early but I'd like to know sooner than later! It's so frustrating.😩
