Yes, you can change. I'm moving house mid-pregnancy and will not only be changing GP, I'll be changing hospital too. Just make sure you find a new GP you are happy with before you dump the current one, you don't want to be without care for too long and some GPs are too booked out to take on new patients. I'm looking for a clinic/shared practice rather than an individual GP - I don't really mind seeing different doctors as long as I can actually get to see one when I need one.

When you ring around to surgeries just tell them that you're pregnant. If they're happy to take you on they'll tell you what needs to be done to have your file switched over.
