They'd also be able to assess whether your home was suitable to give birth in, should you want to. But they could come round and assess that later, given the small number of people who want that.<BR/><BR/>The first visit is to book you in, including I think making sure you start thinking about where/how you want to give birth, and is supposed to take place after your "first" (i.e. 12 week) scan, presumably to - once again - eliminate people that have miscarriages.
