Hi, I'm 10 weeks and had my booking appointment at 8 weeks with the midwife over the phone. She said letters would come out to me with a date for a scan and bloods but I've not received anything yet. I know it's too early for the scan but was expecting to have received a letter by now. When did you receive your appointment letters? Should I call the midwife to enquire or wait longer?

Mine came through about 3 days after my booking appointment. I had the booking appointment at 9+4.

Mine came through about a week and a half after my booking appointment. However my booking appointment wasn't until 10 weeks

From previous experience too with some family members, if something is wrong, they call you. My friend had a high DS chance and they called her. Where as normally, they just send a letter

Mine came through within a week of my booking appointment which I had at 8 weeks.

Might help if you say where in the uk you are based as every health board is different. For instance when I was 5 weeks I phoned the midwife board in my area to let them know I was pregnant. I then got a date over the phone for my booking in appointment at 8 weeks and a week later letters confirming my booking in appointment and 12 week scan time and date. I am in Scotland though and am aware it is different in England.
