Hi everyone

I'm 12 weeks with my third baby And still hadn't got my booking appointment and scan date I live in Northern Ireland and its all done on same day in hopsital
I phoned yesterday and waw told to phone today and still no appointment had been arranged for me seems like they missed my name

So I got a call back and I'm not getting seen till 5th June I will be 14 weeks on that day
I'm really worried as I have had no check ups bloods nothing and I've never had wait this long so scared anything could be wrong and I've so long still to wait
Can all checks be done at this point I'm so stressed out just want to know everything's OK

All advice be great tia

I don’t know if NI has the same rules as England (assuming so) then the cut off for the nt and blood for ds/Edwards etc is 13+6, and that’s also assuming the baby doesn’t measure larger as well.

I knew my ovulation date, so I had my scan at 13+3 but they dated it 13+5 and even initially said he measured 14weeks and it’s past the cut off, but they rechecked and it ended up 13+5. So if you want the nt&blood test for ds/edwards etc then ask if you can have it sooner?

I think they might be able to check further down the line, but that’s obviously longer to wait.
