Hi ladies,
I'm pregnant and just got back from my GP. I think I'm 7 weeks pregnant but asked if I could have a scan as my LMP was 26th of May so I could be further on than that (I have irregular cycles so need to confirm).
I'm totally confused by some of the info she gave me so was wondering if anyone could help:
- midwife appointment: she referred me but its to a specific hospital midwife. We aren't sure if we want to go to this hospital but doc said, if I wanted somewhere else, it would be a different midwife and I'd need to choose now. I wanted to have a look around the maternity wards etc and do some research but I wasn't expecting to have to do this so early. Is it possible to change at a later date?!
- the earliest appt to meet the midwife is over 4 weeks away. I'll be 11 weeks by then hopefully but it could be more if I've got my dates wrong. How long will it take to book in the 12 week scan once I've met the midwife?
- can I push to have an earlier scan given I don't know my dates? The GP clinic weren't helpful and said they couldn't do anything and it would have to go through the midwife but I'm not seeing her for ages. Has anyone had a private scan?
I feel a bit alone and desperate for info now - if anyone can help or just reassure me that I'm doing what I can then that would be great!
Thanks xx
