Spanish Doctors, Midwifes, Gynaecologists
The first thing to do should be to find a Gynaecologist or make an appointment with your Doctor. If you're lucky enough to have friends who have had babies in Spain then ask around and find out if any of them saw a local Gynaecologist.
You will generally find you have monthly appointments that will include either appointments booked in with the midwife or appointments for scans. You will also have regular urine and blood tests done.
