how long does the referral for your 1st scan take????
Hello girlies,
Im seeing the doctor on wednesday (saw him 2 weeks ago to tell himi was preggers) to confirm all is ok etc and he said that when i come back (this wednesday) we will put my referral in for my 12 week scan.
Ive worked out it should be in december but how does it work? do they give you a date straight away or do you have to wait for it to come through the door??
I cant wait for wednesday

I think you have to wait for a letter for your first scan date which usually takes a week or two to come, mine did anyway! But i suppose that depends on where you live and what your hospital is like.I booked my 21 week scan when i was at my 12 week scan but thats just how my hospital works, i think for most other hospitals you have to wait again!
hope you get a date soon

Mine came through post a couple of weeks after i told doctor. It was my booking in app with midwife that took ages. I didnt have it till i was 14 weeks i had scan at 10 weeks!!!

im in welwyn garden city!
cant wait for tommorow morning to see the docs then i will give you the low down, my hospital will be the QE2 in welwyn.
how far gone are you?
and they say hertfordshire is a great place to live!
I just find it crazy that everything is done differently depending on what area you are in! You'd think they'd have one rule for everyone!
Kia, did you get married on 1st Sept? and how far along are you?
Have a look at this article for info on West Herts.... http://news.independent.co.uk/health/article3073749.ece
Unlucky us!!
Gramanda - yes i got married on 1 september, I'm almost 31 weeks now. I guess you were on y&yw? I think I remember seeing you there rather than here. how far along are you?
I got married then too! I was on y&yw too (and still browse there lol) and thought I had seen you! I'm only 23 +3 so still got quite a way to go. The weeks 20+ seem to go so slowly!! We don't get 12 week scans here or find out the sex so we got a private one at 12 weeks (nuchal, and also one at 8 weeks cuz I'm impatient!). Definitely going to find out (if possible) when we have our private 4d one in Decemeber although we think its a boy!
