We had to do a self referral to midwife and had our first midwife appointment (booking appointment) at presumed 8 weeks from date of last period. They arranged our first ultrasound at that appointment at what they presumed would be 12 weeks. We did pay for a private reassurance scan though and very glad that we did :)
You need to self refer online to midwife and once you’ve seen midwife she’ll input your data for the hospital to send for your 12 week scan x
I had my midwife yday and I’m about 9 weeks atm x
My GP requested mine on 18th November and when I was around 6 weeks (I waited until then to confirm I was expecting). I got my appointment 2 days ago to be seen on NYE. It has felt like a long wait!!
I had my booking appointment on the 7th December, I thought I would’ve got a scan date by now 🤷♀️
I had my booking appointment Thursday last week (12th) and had a call from the hospital antenatal unit the same day to book me in for the 12 week scan which will be Saturday 21st.
I had my booking appointment 26th November and got my scan letter about a week and a half later x
@Charlie what did they say at your booking appt about the scan?
@Jessica she said she needs to book all the scans in later that day and I’ll get a letter
Ooh then all I can think is itll be any day now. Maybe xmas post slowing things down x
You could call tomorrow to ask if the date has been confirmed yet - if a letter has been sent the appt details will be in their system x
If you get your maternity notes through the badger app my appointment date went on there way before I got my letter
@Anna thank you I’ll keep checking it x
I just got my referral letter for my 12 week scan yesterday from the hospital - so 3.5 weeks away from the appointment itself and two weeks after my midwife appt who made the referral for me (but didn’t book it in). Different NHS Trusts/ Hospitals will have different pressures and procedures for booking I guess.

My letter took about 2 weeks to come after the booking appointment- I’ll be 13+4 by my scan
I had my 8 week appt with my midwife and then had my scan in badger notes by the next morning. x
@Jessica I call and call and get no answer from the hospital 🙄
Mine will be at 12 weeks and was arranged during my first midwife appt at 10 weeks x
