Hi all hope your week is going well....

i have just received my booking in letter finally and will be seen on the 16th sept. so i phone to ask when my scan would be and they said its not even booked in yet and there is a 5 week waiting time..

thats a long time to wait isnt it? it will mean my 2 scans will be well close together unless they put that one back as well.

Gosh they seem to take a long time in getting round to seeing you don't they! I guess it depends on where you live (I assume living in a city might be more like your experience as more people pregnant etc) - I live in rural Pembrokeshire and I just called the doctors who referred me straight away to the midwife, who I called straight away (at just over 4 weeks) who booked me in straight away for my booking in appointment at 7 weeks. I haven't heard about a scan yet but I assume she will tell me when it is likely to be at the booking in appointment. I actually need a scan either before 11 weeks or after 13+4 as I'll be away between those times.

However, I do think its a bit bad that you won't get one in your first trimester - I thought the first one was supposed to be in the first tri?
