Sertraline - Consultant led during pregnancy?

Treatment and medication
1

Hi everyone, I'm taking Sertraline for anxiety, I'm on 100mg and have been taking it for 6 months. I'm now 12wks pregnant and my GP said it is one of the safer medications to take so I'm carrying on with it throughout my pregnancy.

I had a booking appointment with the midwife a few weeks ago and because I'm taking Sertraline she said I will most likely be consultant led.

Anyone else here consultant led through their pregnancy? What should I expect? How many appointments and what do they entail? Do I get more scans? When did you see your consultant for the first time?

Oh and one last question if anyone can help is, I know we are entitled to paid time off for maternity appointments when we are working but does this cover consultants appointments too?

Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, I've got my scan tomorrow but no mention of seeing a consultant tomorrow. I'll have a chat with the midwife after my scan.
