What happens after 12 week scan (bloods)
Hi
I'm a bit confused about what I should be doing now. I had the 12 week scan at which I was dated 13 weeks. The midwife rushed through a lot of paperwork and someone took some general bloods. We were told to book a 20 week scan (which we did) and spina bifida bloods would be sorted by community midwife. Having not heard from community midwife, I rang to book an appointment. She said the bloods needed to be taken at 15+ weeks but the appointment that the GPs sugery gave me will make me 14+6. Should I be having a check up/bloods at 14 weeks or do people generally see no one from 12 week scan to 16 week appointment.
Cheers! x

I had an appointment at 13 weeks but wont have another till 18 weeks-I think it's only like that because my booking appointment was early so it sounds about right!
I went to have those bloods today but as I'm a few days off 15 +4 they wouldn't do them!! So I have to go back Friday or Monday!! If you have any concerns before your next appointment just call them but I think generally the appointments are 5 weeks apart till near the end!!
