Having kids in the UK...

[NitaFromTexas]

Here comes the question from the ignorant American...

How does prenatal healthcare work in the UK? It looks like I'm going to need to take advantage of those services while I'm there... Is there a website or anything that I could check out for further info? Any help would be appreciated...

heeeyyy! Congrats!

I wish i knew the answer. The process should be the same anywhere in the U.K.

Thanks Babz! I wasn't certain what the differences in the health systems were... Those links will be a great help. Did you have a obstetrician/midwife team or what? This will be my first child, so I'm a complete newbie at this...
