Extremely worried and confused, please help!?

So, I had a text today from the hospital saying I have an appointment on Wednesday.. This was the first I'd heard of any appointment this week! My scan is next week. I rang the hospital straightaway and asked what the appointment is for, and why I hadn't heard anything about it until today. She said they don't send letters for appointments out anymore, and that it's with a consultant because they've asked to see me. I'm now going out of my mind with worry. I asked if she knew what they wanted to see me for, she said they didn't know as it wasn't put on the system. I looked through my notes, there's absolutely nothing of concern in there. I had a miscarriage in 2010, but that's it.. Surely it can't be about that? I also had a CMV infection with my daughter, but I was told that wouldn't impact on any future pregnancies. The last time I had bloods done was at 12 weeks, for the downs test but I had the results for that and it came back low risk. I'm so scared something is wrong. Is this routine? Has anyone else had a similar thing? I never had anything like this with Amelia, until they found the CMV infection, I think that's why I'm panicking so much. I'm in the UK, just in case anyone asks.

Tia for any replies.

Did you have a normal delivery with your last child or a C Section? Any problems with the delivery?
Do you have what's classed as a high BMI? Do you have any medical conditions (including depression, etc)..?
Don't panic, it sounds like you've just been referred for a consultant opinion for one reason or another: Around 18/19 weeks is when you first see a consultant if you've been referred for consultant care by your midwife for any reason, so just throwing a few of the possible reasons out there...!

hey, thanks for your reply. I had a normal delivery with Amelia, no c section or complications. I'm of average size? I have depression, came off my tablets when I found out I was expecting. thank you, I think because of the bad experience in the past I'm probably panicking more than I should be. I just reallyyy don't want anything to be wrong with baby, I want her here happy and healthy! that's my biggest fear, that there's something wrong health wise with her.

This happened to me! I had no idea what it was for and was freaking out - the community midwife said it may have been because my sister had postnatal depression and they needed to check in on me - turns out it was because my other sister had DVT. Turns out that I have the same blood clotting disorder so am relieved that it's now under control!

No advice just sending you some

Even if they have found something (which they won't have!) you'd be being seen to. It's probably something really silly and you'll do a big sigh of relief afterwards xxx

I think I've worked it out. It's going to be about the infection Amelia had, it can reoccur, although there's a very slim chance - 1% according to the NHS website. I can't honestly think what else it could be! That's the only thing in my medical history. I'm not sure what they'll offer or say, because I know there's no cure for CMV, but we shall see. Praying I'm not in that 1%, I couldn't go through that again, it was absolute hell!
