i think it differs depending on your local authority. I was given a letter at my 10 week booking in appt telling me to phone the hospital 7 working days after the appt to book the scan date, i had to wait that time to make sure my notes had been transferred onto the hospital's system. It was quite nice really, i felt like i was in control of it, it gave me something to look forward to doing between seeing the mw and the scan.

When i first met my mid wife, she sent out my info to hospital, and then theyt sent me a letter with a number to ring so i could sort it out!!! xx

I was given a letter with the contact number on to book my scan, It varies from place to place

i told my doctor and they booked me as my midwife refused to see me before 19 weeks she was so rude i nearly cried in the docs surgery i wanted to ask her loads of questions and she just dismissed me... lol anyways yes doctor sent my details and like 2 days later i had my scan date 5th may i cant wait xxxxx

my doctors didnt even want to see me when i phoned to say i was pregnant and what do i do next (my surgery is weird and you cant book in with anyone besides a dr even if you know its someone else you need to see) but bang straight in with a midwife appt no need to see the dr?!!?

so im goin on the 7th april to see M/W i think il b 7/8 weeks then, cant wait to find out when i will have a scan, hubby doesnt think it feels real yet, even with the feeling sickness all the time, lol i think he will feel more reassured when i either get chubbier than i am now :-/ or when we see our little bean!!!
