Is it advisable to change GP when pregnant?

[gatt4950]

I can't stand the waiting times on the phone at DMC on Crystal Palace road and also called up today and they don't have an appointment until May!

I used to be at 306 medical centre on lordship lane and I could get appointments with them within a week.

Is it advisable to change GP's during pregnancy or not?

Thanks!

I did - because they announced I'd moved 0.1 miles out of their catchment - and it was fine. I moved from a great surgery to another great surgery; if I was with DMC I wouldn't hesitate to change

I moved gp at 38 weeks due to a house move. Wasn't a problem.

I also moved house while pregnant with #1. It wasn't a problem at all, in fact I get better midwifery care through the new surgery.
