How much Notice For Your Scan


I'm 12 weeks this Sunday, over here they give you a dating scan at around 12 weeks (or a few days over) but I still havn't recieved a letter with a date for my scan.

Phoned the MW this morning, they told me to phone antenatal deparment of hospital, phoned them and explained everything again, they told me to contact my GP.

I gave up with that, for one thing, our health centre won't just put you through to talk to your GP, you have to make an appointment and that could be a while.

Maybe a letter will come next week, but I was wondering how much notice the rest of the girlies on here got before their scan? A few days notice doesn't seem right. My OH works alot of hours and would need to give his boss reasonable notice for booking time off.

I had loads of trouble with mine, I rang the midwife and she sorted it all out. Got a scan appointment with 1 week notice, but had to rearrange.. then got 4 weeks notice of the new appointment
Maybe talk to your midwife again? Gp just makes an appointment through the choose and book system. Mine didn't work as for some reason the hospital lost the notification from the midwife

No answer, they must be closed. Ah well, guess I will have to wait until Monday morning.

I just hope they are able to fit me in some time next week if they have forgot/letter has been lost in post, whichever.

I was getting worried as I hadn't heard anything about my scan either. I phond my GP and they said they had sent a letter. They told me to phone the ultrasound department who said they had not received a letter. I had to phone my GP back and get them to send another letter. I would def call your gp and midwife - I think you should have heard by now. Good luck
