Feeling hard done to, first scan
I cant help but feel hard done to.
I found out I was pregnant in November, my sisters due in Febuary so when I told her she mentioned it to her midwife in her next appointment (Id gone to all of them with her so id met the midwife before) She said I wouldnt be able to get an appointment until I was at least 12 weeks, which I found a bit odd because my sister got hers straight away, same as when she had her first. So I went trotting off to the docs to book my appointment and they wouldnt even book me a midwives for a while, they kept telling me to ring back so many days later.
Eventually just before christmas I got booked in for the 22nd Jan-if ive got my dates right that made me about 13 weeks. Time seemed to drag but I didnt mind so much-ok I had my fair share of rants everytime a bus was late about how everyone hated me and they were all against me, but I assumed the way they worked things had changed and you couldnt get your first midwife appointment until you were 12 weeks.
So now Im waiting for my letter from the hospital with my scan date, but from what Ive read and from people Ive spoken to nobody else has been made to wait that long to have their first midwife appointment. I cant help but feel a little hard done to, I should have had my scan by now or at least have been told the date.
Has anyone else had to wait like this?

I found out I was pregnant on Oct 19th, saw midwife 19th Nov, 24th Dec, 21st Jan (basically every 4 weeks) with my scan on 18th Dec. I feel I am lucky but this should be the norm for EVERY pregnant woman wherever they live surely?
I know in the long run it doesnt matter, but its making me so impatient....
But the nasty people still booked her in on her birthday
I got my letter today. Im having my scan next Monday-so if I have my dates right ill be nearly 15 weeks...Im so excited
I suppose I should be glad they weren't all too early, like you say it could make it drag-although this time keeps dragging now.
OH keeps telling me it'll fly by, but its not. At least I have a date now, might even be able to tell the sex since ill be almost 15 weeks-although knowing my luck ill be told one thing, buy stuff then be told the opposite in my second scan
