How long after booking in is dating scan?

[Jellyboobs]

I was late getting organised (Doc told me I needn't book to see midwife until I was 10 weeks) and have just been booked in at 14 + 4. Midwife said she would rush things through so I would get a scan asap....just wondering how long it usually takes, if there is such a thing as a usual time. Am aware that I have to have other tests between now (15 weeks) and 20 week anomoly scan... I s it bad form to ring the hospital and ask?

no, i'd chase it up tbh.

First scan in my area is around 16 weeks, so almost now!

First scan in my area is a the same time as your booking in appointment

In my area it's between 11-13 weeks. I had to book that appoinent myself. So ring up your ultrasound department and chase it up

Panic over, i got my letter this morning and the appointment is for Monday...just a little bit of skiving at work to do then :)

Thanks for the advice!

I might be preaching to the choir but you don't need to "skive" - your employer has to give you time off for antenatal appointments! Sorry if you already knew this!
