does this sound right to you?
I went to docs yesterday as i found out i was pg, i am booked into to se the surgery midwife on mon. my dating scan is the 22feb does this not seem a bit early? my last af was dec 10th and i've been booked in for dating scan 22nd feb which would only make me just 10wks but in theory could be less than that if i was looking at date we were actually bding? i already changed the date once as the gp receptionist booked me for dating scan at 7 wks which was WAY too early. it was some one from the scanning department that made my new appt so you'd think this was right? but it just seems a little soon. did you ladies have dating scans earlier than 12wks? xx

they like to scan you between 10-14 weeks over here, dunno if all hospitals are the same.

Tbh I'd be glad you get an earlier scan as it is so much more reassuring...I would have had to wait until 14 wks for mine but I had an emergency scan at 9 weeks instead. x

22nd Feb is my due date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which county do you live in? This seems to vary alot but I live in Chichester, West Sussex and I had a 'dating' scan at 8 weeks, literally to work out how far I was, which I thought was uneccesary as we only tried the once as hubby got called away for work?!
Then I had a 'nuchal screening' scan at 12 weeks. This is the one that tests for downs syndrome and a few others.
So your hospital might be doing the same and offering you 2 scans, well 3 if you count the anomoly scan at 20 weeks!!
My hospital seems to be a bit scan-happy as I have had 6 now!?!
Congratulatons though!!
