Do I need to switch doctors?

Please help! I didn’t think anything was out of the ordinary but I’m also a first time mom. My daughter had her 6 months check up (and all others leading up to that point) and the doctor did the typical exam (pulse etc) and administered vaccines.

NHS Scans

Does anyone know how many scans you get? From my NHS app it’s telling me I’ve got my 20 week scan coming up and that’s it. So is it really only the 12 week and 20 week scan??? Do I just give birth after that?!!? That’s scary….
