Thanks for all the bra advice! 
Complete farce with my booking appt.
called last week (as soon as I had the 8week scan ticked off), GPs said, oh we only have one appointment before you will be 14 weeks and it’s not for a full hour. They offer to msg the midwife and say to expect a response on Thurs (2days later). No call Thursday, so I followed up on Friday, explained I’d had no response, and was told
the previously identified appt. had gone, but they’d now got one later the same day, I suggested this was booked to avoid missing out & give time to get my scan booked.
Today I got a phone call out of the blue to ask if I had an appointment today, I said no, next week. Would I like a phone appointment today? I asked how they would take bloods, then she said oh you’ll have to attend next week for that. I said in that case I’d rather do everything together as I’d already arranged time off work.
2 hours later I get a call to say next week’s appointment is only for 30mins therefore I have to have a telephone appointment today!
Fortunately one of my meetings is cancelled this afternoon, but not exactly confidence inspiring!!
