1st Trimester

When did you have your first appointments?

I saw my GP as soon as I got my BFP, at this point they completed my booking form for the hospital and referred me to the midwives. Due to my history I had an early scan at EPAU on Tuesday which dated me at 5-6 weeks no heartbeat was present, I have got another scan on the 26th Jan to check again for heartbeat. 

My midwives will not see me until I am at least 8 weeks to fill out my green notes and to refer me for my scans at the hospital.

How many weeks did you have your first scans and midwife appointments?


Re: When did you have your first appointments?

  • Just curious, are you in the UK (terminology used). I am in London, and I saw my GP at 8 weeks to report the pregnancy (I didn't know I was pregnant until 6 weeks, then went on holiday so 8 weeks was the soonest I could) and she referred me to a maternity/antenatal hospital nearby. My booking appointment with midwives SHOULD have been shortly after, but my referral got lost and by the time it was sorted I was at 11 weeks. Given my age (39) and desire to do the various screenings for Downs which must take place at around 11-13 weeks, they rushed me in and at 12 weeks I had my booking appointment and 12-week scan in same day. So 8-weeks is standard for the booking appointment.

    After the 12-week scan, my appointments were: 
    - 20-week anatomy scan (the only other scan I've had)
    - 24-week with GP
    - 28 week with midwife
    - 31 week with GP
    - 34-week with midwife
    - 36-week with midwife
    - 38-week with GP
    - 40-week with midwife (had this yesterday, I'm at 39+5)
    - 41-week with midwife (if baby hasn't come)

  • I'm not seeing a midwife either.
    i saw my GP as soon as i got my positive at 6.5 weeks. i didnt see him again until 12 weeks, & then had my first US scan a couple days later. I'm not meeting my actual OB until Feb. 2nd.
  • I went to my old OB's office and had levels checked when I was 4 weeks (I had a loss in October so they wanted to make sure things were good in November when I got a positive again). I had my first ultrasound with my new Midwife when I was just over 7 weeks.
