I've just been told that I can't even get a booking in appointment with a midwife until AT LEAST 6th June (by which time will be 12+3) - there are no appointments available before then, and they're not making any yet for then. If, on a week on Monday, the list isn't full once the midwife's clinic is finished I might be able to get an appointment for then. Otherwise it's wait another week, and then again might, etc...
Apparently nothing can be done about arranging scans until after the booking in (and then it's likely to be another couple of weeks). As I'm 39 (will be 40 before this one is born), and hence in a higher risk group, I don't really want to miss out on the scan/associated tests.
Has anyone else been in this situation? What did you do about it?
I've found a couple of places reasonably local to me which do private scans, etc - anyone used The Fetal Imaging Centre in Banbury or Leamington, or MUMS near Birmingham?

Aargh - can't get a midwife booking in appointment until too late for scans/tests. What do I do now?
