docs note for holiday
Hi,
I had to share this as I'm still in stock! I go on a cruise next week and hubby was checking details and it says I need a letter from gp to say I'm fit to travel and under 28 weeks, I'm 11+4. So i went down to docs this afternoon and was told that as I have never seen a doctor at my surgery I'd have to see one and that I would be charged a min of ??25.00 for the letter!!!!!!!!!!!! Felt like was being penalised for being healthy and then this 25.00 was icing on the cake. I can't believe I get free prescriptions but I have to pay for a letter. So anyway I have decided to sod it I can still fit in my clothes so as far as cruise is concerned I not pg. Sorry for ranting on X

It is always to cover your own back though due to insurance etc and always worth getting and I dont want to scare you but a friend of mine also flew when she was 12 weeks but miscarried whilst on holiday and had to visit a hospital and stay in and where she didnt get a note or comfirm with insurers they didnt pay out and had to pay a lot of expenses, which I know isnt as important as a loss of a baby but is an extra worry.
I hope this helps but completely agree its a rip off!
