Self referral

Hello! I found out I was pregnant last week and did the self referral for Colchester hospital yesterday. Just wondered roughly how long it’s taken people to hear back and what the first steps/first appointment will be? I didn’t get an email or anything to say it had been successful…I just filled out the form online and then the page ended 🫤

I did mine on Friday and they rang on Monday. It could also be because I was new in town and was 25 weeks pregnant.

I think I was called by a midwife a few days later and was booked in for my booking appointment 😊

When I done mine I heard back within about 10 days I’d so! They’ll book you in for your first midwife appointment :)

First of all - congratulations!! How exciting for you ☺️ I did my referral through email and received automated email the same day then heard back the next day. I think it will also depend on how far along you are, I was 8 weeks then and I got a phone call from them. They will book an appointment for you where the midwife will have a chat about your medical history, urine test, take blood work and give your purple book ☺️

You have your first appointment at about 9 weeks so they will email you an appointment or send one in the post before that x

Thank you all for your help ❤️ I finally got a letter through, but my first appointment will be when I’m 13 weeks and 3 days 😳
