20 week re scan

Hey I am nearly 21 weeks pregnant with my second baby girl🄹

I had my 20 week scan the other day and baby was being a wiggly bum! They told me cos they couldn’t get a proper good luck at her heart& face and that i would have to go back before 23 weeks has anyone else had this? Did you get a letter through the post or was it just on your badgers app?

I had to go back for my son cos they couldn't see the whole spine. Pretty sure I got a letter (but scans don't show up on my badger). If you don't get anything in the post next week then you could always ring the scan department and ask them to check when your appointment is.

Thank you for replying, yeah I didn’t think scans showed up on badger but my friend seemed to think they did. Do you know how many days roughly the letter took? I am going to ring up next week if I don’t hear from them then :)

I can't remember how long it took, sorry! I don't know if it's the same everywhere (I'm in Gloucestershire), but scans definitely don't show up on badger here. All the midwives complain about it haha!
I've had to ring the scan department as I lost one of my letters and they were pretty helpful so hopefully they'll just be able to look you up next week and have a look :)

That’s okay no problem hopefully we hear something in the next few days. Ahhhh I live in Gloucester so can’t be any different then

Yes I got a letter but I was planning to ring them that day to chase up the appointment so it must have taken a week or so to come through.

No harm in ringing to check

I can't remember exactly how many weeks I was, but I remember them saying they wanted to re-scan in 2 weeks time. After a week I hadn't heard and obviously needed to sort with work so I was planning to ring to just make the appointment myself but I got the letter that day
