I have to have consultant led care too because of previous DVT and vein problems.They will probably just go through the plan with you and give you an idea of how they expect to manage your care and labour etc.....I dont think they will give you another scan if you have already been booked in for 12 and 20 weeks. x Bakers cyst should not be a major concern and usually heals up on it's own, they might be worried about you developping DVT though.

I have been Consultant led in 2 out of 3 pregnancies and not been scanned at initial appointment, just a care plan chat my end really. Should say they were for different reasons than yourself.
Mine was Low BMI, large cyst on ovary and previous cervical history with my 1st. This time it is because I had an EMCS with my previous.

It really isn't as bad as it sounds, well I haven't found it to be, just means I go to hospital to see midwife then consultant, only downside is the waiting around really.
Hope you get all the advice you need to help you stop worrying and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.
Good luck.

Valient,when are you due? V veins and phlebitis can be horrid I know. Hope it all goes well for you. I guess it also means you will need to be on a C led ward when you give birth rather than one with just midwives. xx Congrats on your 4th!
