So I would start if you think you're pregnant, finding a GP with antenatal experience and don't just wait.

So kind of book that consultation in early.

And there's a lot we can do to support a healthy pregnancy physically, emotionally and logistically as well.

So when you see your doctor, we will confirm the pregnancy with like a urinal blood test based on what I've said before.

And if we're unsure, we'll do that dating scan for you.

And then this is the most important part of the conversation.

It's never always congratulations on your pregnancy.

I always start the conversation with, is this a congratulation?

And it's important because, you know, for some people it's a surprise.

It's not at the right time.

There are reasons.

Yeah, that's right.

And so your GP will walk beside you without judgment.

They'll have that conversation.

And if termination is something that you're considering, we'll guide you through that process and make sure that you have the right supports.

If you are thinking of continuing the pregnancy, it's ensuring that you're on the right supplements.

So it's important we go through your medical reports
