dating scan tomorrow!

6 Replies

Hi everyone! New to this so bear with me!

So.. we found out I was pregnant on mothers day we then went to the local doctors for a 'midwife referral form' we filled it in and dropped it back in the next day- which was fine. We didn't hear anything for over over 4 weeks! Everyday I waited for a letter- nothing. Bit the bullet and rang the surgery who said 'it was definitely handed over' anyway.. the midwife rang me the next day to arrange my notes to be written up and the day after i had a time and date for the booking in appointment. She too couldn't understand how it had taken so long!

Anyway, I have my 12 week scan tomorrow but I haven't yet received a letter! They said I would- i'm just worried whether I will need a full bladder or not!

(Sorry for waffling- first time mum!)

Thanks x

Congratulations! Had my scan last Thursday, they tell u to have a full bladder but not to be uncomfortable! When I was pregnant the first time, I ran out of my scan to the toilets I was so desperate lol I think I had taken it too far! Good Luck x
