Gunner Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Have just found out I am pregnant and was wondering if anyone can share their experiences of having a baby in France? Should I go straight to my GP - have done 2 tests which are positive, but am a bit unsure of the normal procedure. Any words of wisdom would be gratefully received.

Me0wp00 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 HiCongratulations !!!! and don't stress it's all fairly straightforward. You can go to your GP and he'll probably send you for ablood test but you don't *have* to see him before 12 weeks, where hewill complete the declaration de grossesse or you can go to a gynae forthat.I had my first child here 2 years ago and due to previous miscarriagewent straight to the GP as soon as I found out as I wanted to get ablood test done and to book in with the hospital/gynae. I had thegynae fill in my declaration and give me all my obligatory checks (freeafter I think 5 months)The best advice I can give is to ask this question on the baby centreforum, we have one for french parents in france and theres people alotmore clued up on things than me.http://boards.babycentre.co.uk/n/pfx/forum.aspx?_requestid=159696&webtag=bcUKParFrance well, thats roughly the link no idea if it'll work or notbut if you go to babycentre.co.uk and then bulletin boards and theres a parent in france one.As it was my first and I wasn't really into a *natural* birth I justwent with the flow and went to the checks with the gynae, opted forepidural, stayed in hospital for the 5 days after etc etc other peopledo get a more natural birth but as I was in france I just went with thefrench way.HTH and feel free to emailPippa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
