Should I rush to private or wait for my local hospital appointment?

Hi. I’m currently at week 7. This is my first time. I’m getting anxiety and worried if my pregnancy is ok as I’ve not been to the gynae yet. My appointment is set in July and by then I would be 14 weeks. Should I just go to private to scan first and see if baby is ok? Just afraid it’s too early or is it too late? Or I should wait for the appointment in July. All these worrying makes me so tired.

I would go private first as you’ll need to have your first trimester screen at 11-14 weeks, so having your first appointment at 14 weeks is cutting it close and they might not have a slot for you. And start taking folic acid now if you haven’t already. Congrats mama!!
