Badger Notes - self-referral

Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back from the maternity team after a self-referral? I don't want to chase if I'm just being impatient but I don't want to be forgotten!!

I think it will depend on how far gone you are and when you've put the referral in. When I found out I was pregnant last year, badger wasn't in place so I called the team for my area of Oxford and they advised me what to do. I'd say if you've not heard by the time you think you'll be 7/8 weeks, I'd give your local team a call. The numbers are here: https://www.ouh.nhs.uk/maternity/antenatal/#community

When I got to 5 weeks I heard back with an appointment when 7/8 weeks

Congrats! I found out last Tuesday, sent my form on Friday and they called me yesterday and have booked me in for 9 weeks along with my 12 week ultrasound. I’m 5 weeks tomorrow if that helps 🙂

I did a self referral when I was around 4 weeks and I heard back from them around 8 weeks, with an appointment. It all depends on how far along you are when you do your referral x

I got ‘forgotten’ they had booked me an apt but no one had called to tell me 🙈. Personally I’d call if you haven’t heard by 8 weeks

I wasn't contacted for a few weeks from what I remember.. I think by 8 weeks
