Getting annoyed

[KikoDinoGirl]

Still no letter from the hospital telling me of a scan date.

Then when I telephoned yesterday they said they didn't recieve the letter asking for the scan from the GP in the first place. So got the fax number of the maternity unit and gave it to GP so they could fax the letter. Now telephoning the maternity unit to check what is happening, and although I am 'next in line to be answered' it is taking ages.

Grrr....being impatient....

Is anyone else waiting for a scan date or anything? How long did it take? I've not seen a midwife as yet etc...

My midwife sent off my scan letter and I got it through 2 weeks later which included christmas and NYE.

How frustrating

I just spent twenty minutes on hold then gave up, I suppose I will telephone them tomorrow.

Go down there and demand they tell you right then I mean how dare they see other women, don't they know you are the only pregnant woman in the world

(btw I'm not poking fun, I was exactly the same when my midwife cancelled my appointment and I did say exactly the same thing to my friend )

Hmmmm...works differently here.

I went to my first appointment at 7ish weeks with the midwife, she called and got me a scan date that day Why can't everywhere just work like that?

Don't mind them seeing over women I just want to be one of them!

Felt a bit emotional early ( I cried because I didn't have Linda Macartney pies indoors) so hopefully my annoyance was just a reflection of that.

I had midwifes appt on 16th Dec then letter from hospital through 2 1/2 wks later (inc xmas & New year) - my scan date is 16th Jan when I'll be exactly 13wks.

I must admit I badgered my midwife for three days before I got a midwifes appt because they're supposed to see you before 10wks and I was 10wks over the xmas holidays.

Thanks everyone for the replies (especially Frog as that seemed more similair to my experience lol)

I telephoned everyone today and lo and behold they all answered their phones and were fantastically helpful and just great

I have my midwife appointment this Monday which is the questionning one. This one is really important to me regarding family history as my husband has a congental shortening of his leg (which basically means he has one really small leg) its called PFFD and although all the websites have reassured me it's not congenital I still want to hear it from someone

Then I have the nucle..... ( I can't remember how to spell it LOL) scan 27th January so that will be my first actual scan - which is a bit latter than anticipated unless the midwife will book me into one before that.

Wahoooo to scans BRAP BRAP
