Early screening tests - how to book them?

[tsfhs]

Hello

I received my pregnancy booklet from NHS with lot of screenings and tests that I can get during the pregnancy.

For every test it says that "I will be offered the test and I need to chose whether to have it"

My question is, how and when will I be offered the tests? My GP didn't offer them on the initial appointment, I just got a midwife appointment at 10 weeks and an ultrasound scan at 12.

Will I talk about the tests at the midwife appointment? I'm worried because some of the tests (e.g. sickle cell) say that they need to be done before the 10th week, which is before my MW appointment... Do I need to call my GP?

Confused - please help!

Thank you!

They’re done at your booking appointment

We covered screening tests at my booking appointment. I also had mine at around 10 weeks.

Thank you both so much, this is my first time + I haven't been living in the UK for too long and I feel sooo lost. Hope all turns out well

Thanks again
