Appointment question.. pleeeease help..

[Kitteh]

Im approx 14-15 weeks pregnant.. and i have a dating scan for the 4th of dec.. but wth the letter i was told that on the 10th of dec i have to go to see a gynaecologist and obstetrcian.. is that normal? cos i wasnt told about it.. now im worrying they've picked something up in my blood tests or urine sample..!!!! i am panicing..!!!

Any advice please.. sorry if this is a stupid question.. first time mother and all that jazz.. x

hmm,. I haven't had that with any of my pregnancies.
i'd ring your midwife in the morning and ask her? might be routine in yiour area or something

I dont know if i worded it right.. it says... "an appointment, combined with a dating scan, has been made for you with MR BLAH BLAH BLAH GYNAECOLOGIST AND OBSTETRICIAN at the Ante Natal clinic..

But surely if they're already giving me one on the 4th.. they wouldnt on th 10th.. god im worrying myself silly now.. lol..

No.. nothing.. .. do you think something could have come back in my blood or urine sample?

Kitteh - firstly, are you in the UK?
Have you had previous mc or anything like that?
Is late for a dating scan - usually done at 12ish weeks. Could your dates be wrong/did you have trouble getting an appt?

Yeah, im from the uk.. no problems before.. Its a late dating scan cos firstly i was doing the cambridge diet which messed with my periods.. and i assumed the first missed one was just the diet.. oops.. then.. i wasnt registered with a gp.. or anything.. so i needed to do that.. then make my first appointment.. and she wasnt even gonna give me a dating scan.. just a one in like.. 4 weeks.. so it was shock when i got the dating scan through.. and then that.. x

Yeah.. first pregnancy..

I would call your mw then to put your mind at rest, may just be the way things are done at that hosp/in your area.
Congrats btw and good luck with your pgcy!

Right.. ill do that.. thanks so much for your advice..!! x

In my Trust late bookers are always offered an appointment with an obstetrician. Don't know why but it is standard (according to my maternity notes), so nothing to worry about. I am sure it is the same for you

Oh and sometimes a mistake is made - my MW ticked the wrong box on my notes and so I was sent an appointment for the specialist MW (who deals with people who are HIV positive - which I am not).

Have you been to your GP about not being able to concieve???

I did and then found out I was pregnant and they had already booked me an appointment for some tests and a scan to see why I couldnt get pregnant.

We asked at our booking scan if the sonographer knew what it would be for and she had a look at my records and cancelled it.

Ive had my dating scan but i have an appointment with the ob 2mrw, im in scotland and some obs like to see you even though its prob the only time you will see him, If you are going to have an epidural here you have to see ob same as if you are going to hosp and not mlu/or going to a hosp out of your district they will see you really its nothing to worry about.

never been to the gp about not being able to conceive..
I am overweight.. do you think this could be it.. my midwife was lovely about it.. "you're overweight.. but im guessing you know this".. erm.. thanks.. lol.. im in the north east of england.. im praying its just something they do.. or whatever.. lol.. x

It could be. Could you phone your midwife to ask?

can you phone on a sunday? or is that just a silly question?

If it is really worrying you, they will have emergency cover on a Sunday. If you can stick it out until tomorrow you will definitely get hold of someone.

My BMI is over 32.. i feel a bit relieved now..
a massive thanks to you lot.. my OH said he thought if it was anything serious they would have seen me before the 10th.. i guess hes right.. hugs for you all.. lol x x

Oh thats the other thng i meant to say yes i agree with other posters if you are overweight they will refer you to ob. i was because i was "overweight" (bmi is a load of crap imo but a lot of mlu need u to be bmi 30 or under)but if he thinks you are healthy enough and not high risk he can refer you back to mw care. This is my 3rd baby and i have been overweight since first and gained in all three pgs and never had any probs through labour or pg with it. In fact my mw has commented on how healthy i am and how brilliant my pg is progressing considering my bmi is "above average"

Thanks festivedolly =).. i feel a lot calmer now.. phew.. im literally such a laid back person.. lol.. but i was soooo panicy.. silly me.. Im quite looking forward to the scan now.. hehe.. x
