They normally send you an appointment letter with the dates on it when to see them/ or in anyway they will phone you. Yes, you are right my midwife did checked me when i was 8 weeks pregnant.
The first routine check up would normally takes bet 1 to 2 hours checking everything with your medical history and hubby that would be your notes. Your notes/ or record that you will take with you everytime you have an appointment to see your midwife/gp/consultant.
Goodluck Cheryl
