When did you have your booking appointment?

[BabySweet85]

My booking appointment with the midwife has been cancelled 3 times. When did anybody else have theirs? It’s getting later in my pregnancy.

With dc5 I didn't have my booking appt until 16 weeks because of a series of cock ups . The other 4 I was booked 9-11 weeks.

8 or 9 weeks here, all 3 times.

10 weeks.

First pregnancy, booking appointment and scan done together at 12 weeks.

2nd pregnancy, booking appointment at 11w and scan at 13w (there was a delay because I moved GP practice).

3rd pregnancy, booking appointment at 8w, scan would have been 12w if I hadn't miscarried.

4th pregnancy, booking appointment at 11w and scan at 12w.

Where I live they seem to leave them as late as possible but get them done before the 12w scan.

5 weeks but I think it was because they had to do them over the phone and I found out really early. Had a mmc as well earlier in the year. Xx

Over the phone at 8 weeks & then had bloods etc taken at 12 week scan in the hospital.

im having mine at 4+5 but i belive thats becasue of medical condtions i have

Around 9 weeks each time, they don't tend to do them early because of the risk of miscarriage. I was pregnant and had to cancel one as I miscarried at 7 weeks, I guess it saves resources having them 9-12 weeks.

DS was at 8 weeks (3.5 years ago)

This time, I Had the majority of it over the phone at 9.5 weeks then saw the midwife at 12 weeks for urine and weight to be done.

Booking appt over phone at 10 weeks, bloods, scan, etc at 13 weeks in hosp

Thank you all - it seems quite varied them between 8-13 weeks x

It seems pretty crap that it’s all done over the phone - I don’t think we actually see a midwife until week 25 here! Although I’ve heard they might be reintroducing face to face appointments next month.

I had a face to face booking appt at 10 weeks, the trust has gone back to face to face appts. The scan around 13 weeks. It took about 2 weeks from doing a self referral for the midwifery service to get the appt letter through.

I had my bloods first, when I was about 7.5 weeks, and then my booking appointment was 2 weeks later at about 9.5 weeks.
