dating scan anxiety

Hello,
I'm getting really anxious for my dating scan to come through. I didn't have my booking in appointment until I was 11 +1 weeks pregnant and the midwife assured me there was enough time to get the scan sorted before 14 weeks.
I will be 13 weeks tomorrow and still haven't heard anything. Is it ok to chase the scan before the 2 weeks they recommend?

Any help would be appreciated. FTM trying not to overthink everything!

I would definitely chase them. I had an appointment booked for my dating scan but never got a letter. I only found out about it because I called. So always worth calling the hospital trust's maternity line if they have one, or the midwifery team if you can. Good luck!

I would 100% call them as you only have another 6 days that you can have the combined screening for. I would keep hounding today till they give you an appointment.

Thanks for the advice.
So glad I chased it as they had no record of the referral being sent. After speaking to about 5 different people its been sorted for later in the week. Smile
