Hi

How long did it take for you to hear back once self-referring?

In my area we are meant to self-refer online and complete a form and then meant to hear back with an appointment for the first appointment. But I can't remember what the form said.

I should be 7 weeks today according to LMP and completed the form last week.

A week after self referal i had a phone call and I had my booking in appointment at 10 weeks

In my area they say expect not to hear anything until 8 weeks x

I’m 7+4 at the moment. I self-referred on 28th December, and got an email confirming I’m registered on 12th January. Booking appointment has been made for 9+6 x

I got contacted by the midwife within 48hrs of completing the form, had my booking in appointment 7 days later (approx 6 weeks ish).

It's completely different depending on your area. In my area I didn't have my booking appointment until I was 12 weeks

I self referred at 5 weeks 😅 on a Friday, had my appointments sent over on the Monday. had booking at 7 weeks and scan at 12 weeks x

I self referred at 5 weeks and had my booking appointment at 9 weeks. In my area they say you won't hear anything until after 8 weeks

They normally do booking at around 10 weeks, then first scan around 12 weeks. Unlikely they'll see you before 10 weeks as the pregnancy is more established at that point.

I had to call a number to self refer. I did it when I found out at about 4 weeks pregnant and they called me back for the booking appointment when I was 6 weeks pregnant. The booking appointment was done over the phone.

Everywhere is different, I phoned to self-refer and was given my booking appointment and first scan appointment on that call.
