I'm 8+3 and still no date for a booking-in appointment let alone a scan date. I had dd there three years and pretty sure I had my booking in around 9 weeks. I had a private scan yesterday for reassurance but really starting to feel impatient. I rang on Wednesday to be told their system was down. Grr,

I'm with Kingston and was sent my booking in and scan dates in the same letter. The booking in was at 11 weeks and scan at 12. Can't remember exactly but I think I got the letter at about 9 weeks. Every appointment since then I've been able to book in early so just the first wave you have to wait for!

I am not due to deliver at Kingston but elsewhere in surrey. I think they suggested booking between 10-11 weeks and if you want combined screening scan should be before 13+4/6(not sure which) when I called I stressed I wanted combined screening so they booked scan when I was given booking appointment. I would call again next week but not worry as sure you still have plenty of time.

Oh thanks bun! When are you due? I'll call on Thursday if I haven't heard anything, I'll be 9weeks then.

I'm at KIngston too and got my letter around 9 weeks which had a booking appointment at 11 and scan at 12 weeks. Fingers crossed your letter will arrive soon.

I've just had my 2nd baby there. I had GD and the care was great. Barely any waiting time at appts etc. Stick with them!

Cool thanks Smile Dd's birth was horrific but the staff were great so I'm hoping for a quieter ride this time (elcs)! Hope my letter will arrive by the end of the week.

Due in December. I'd agree that my care has been great so far, it's my first so I'm a little concerned about labour as I've heard how busy it can be and it's possible I'll be there on Xmas day, have dreams that there will be no doctors there

I had dd at Kingston and the antenatal and labour care was great. post natal was a bit meh but I think that's quite common.
