What should I do if haven't heard back about referral to high-risk pregnancy clinic?

[birdseed]

Now 7 weeks. Referred to high risk pregnancy clinic and for early scan at 5 weeks. Although the GP possibly just made 1 referral thinking that the clinic would organise the scan.
Referred because of probable lupus and told by lupus consultant that I would need an early scan.)

I still haven't heard anything.

Anyone have any ideas as to how quickly I should hear or be seen?

Not sure how early it needs to be or how to push things forwards. Very frustrating.
Any ideas anyone?!

Thank you!

i have high risk pregnancies (diabetes), & had 2 very different experiences. with ds, my 1st pregnancy, i rang my diabetes consultant the day after my positive pg test & he slotted me into his clinic that week (so i was about 4 wks pg...). however, they then sent me away until 12 weeks when they booked me.

with dd, 3.5 years later & a different hospital, the gp faxed the hospital & they saw me when i was 6wks at the high risk antenatal clinic (& from then on every 2 weeks. the right thing to do but VERY tedious).

sorry, i'm waffling. anyway, if i were you, i'd ring the antenatal clinic on monday morning & insist on being seen this week. even if they haven't got your gp's fax you should be able to self-refer. chase the gp too. good luck.

Ring the high risk unit first thing Monday morning and check your notes have got there - some do organise the non-routine scans (mine do my arterial dopplers etc - am high risk cause of a clotting thing).
If they haven't heard of you ring the GP surgery and give 'em hell

thank you both for your advice - much appreciated!
am finding it v frustrating trying to navigate the system.

will ring clinic and then high risk npreg unit ~(didn't even know it existed!)

thank you!
