Booking Appointment

Hi, I was just hoping someone could give me some advice please!

I was told to call my GP when I thought I was 8 weeks pregnant to make my booking appointment. I did this and they booked me in for in two weeks time. Ten minutes before my appointment, my midwife called to say I didn’t have to go and I just needed to attend an early bird appointment the following week to have my bloods, height and weight taken and then I would get a call for the actual booking appointment at a later date. I attended the early bird appointment and based on their dates I was 13w 3d, I know I am not that far as I have a longer cycle. They said they would put me on the urgent list for my phone booking appointment with the midwife. This was a week ago now and I still haven’t heard anything and I’m now 12w 2d according to my dates and 14w 3d according to their dates. Should I just wait to hear from them or should I chase it up? Thanks for your help Smile

Definitely chase it up, you should be booked in for a scan ideally before 14 weeks.

I would chase too. I think you need your scan and measurement tests done by 14 weeks. Not a huge issue if they can’t do the measurements as they’ll do a quad blood test but still, chase up. Congratulations!

Thanks both! I’ll give them a call tomorrow and chase it up. Thank you Smile
