Dating scan when???

[Irene8]

Hello everyone! So I'm already 12 weeks I had my first appointment via telephone 2 weeks before and I'm waiting for my dating scan.Do I have to make appointment for this???Or i have to call??

When you find out your pregnant you should contact your local GP surgery and ask for an appointment with the midwife. Mine was when I was around 9 weeks. It's the midwife who then refers you to the hospital for the dating scan. This should to be done before 14 weeks +1 day.

Who did you have your call with 2 weeks ago? I would call them back and chase it up.

I had to chase my dating scan and got it when I was 14 weeks. I chased my midwife and my hospital for this.

Hello I had mine at 13 weeks 4 days. Phone your GP and ask for the midwife number. The midwife will give you an appointment right there and then so don’t worry.

Good luck!

My midwife made it for me and it’s any time between 12-14 weeks. Just give your maternity unit a ring. They will always point you in right direction

My midwife forgot to refer me so I called the hospital scanning direct and they gave me an appointment two days later x

On my gp's advice, I self referred myself (on the hospital website) and received an email with the details of my first call swiftly followed by a letter detailing the date etc of my 1st scan. So if i were you i would just contact the hospital maternity unit directly!

Hey! I am also 12 weeks, but I was asked to attend a local children’s centre to have my bloods taken at 9 weeks. They then put my details in the system and I got a letter a week later for my dating scan. I would call your GP and urge them to push this through asap. Alternatively, you could call your local maternity ward and they will be able advise you about what to do next! x

I had mine at 13+6. Your midwife should have referred you but if you haven’t heard anything by 12 weeks I’d give them a ring to double check x

Hi, even though your initial appointment was on the phone, you still should have gone into get your booking measurements. I’m nearly 11 weeks and they did the appointment on the phone and then I had to go into get bloods, blood pressure, weight and urine sample and then you get your notes and referred for a scan. The appointments are coming through by texts as there is a backlog with the letters apparently. I would ring your GP and they can refer you for your booking tests and scan Xx

[Irene8]

Girls thanks a lot for the answers . I'd give them a ring right now and we'll see xx

Hi, I just had mine through I will be just under 14 weeks. I had to phone the birth centre to have my first appointment with midwife, you could try phoning them to find out.

Hope this helps x

My GP didn’t want to know and told me to refer myself. The early pregnancy unit then called me 2 weeks after referring and did my booking appointment over the phone. They they booked me in for bloods, gave me my folder which had my dating appointment in.

I’ll be around 13 weeks when I have my scan..
