When do you normally have the dating scan?

I haven't been to GP yet - when will i see a midwife? I can't remember how it all works it's been over 6 years since DS!!

Thanks for that link to the NICE information, Sami - first time I've seen the official guidelines on what should happen & when.

I wonder if my GP appt (to confirm pregnancy) counted as the first appointment then? All he did was mention Folic Acid and ask if I drank/smoked, but he didn't give me any leaflets or advice on what I should and shouldn't be doing, eating etc.

And it also confirms why the midwives round here don't see it as unusual that the booking appt is scheduled so late, I won't be seen till 15 weeks but, according to those guidelines, it can happen at upto 16 wks.

Oh well, at least I'm getting my first scan on time.

[Sorry, didn't mean for that to seem a rant Just I'm not a spring chicken ....]

Tigster - you'll get a squillion leaflets at booking in most of which will end up in the recycle bag :rolleyes:

Just back from Asda where I eventually picked up my Bounty Pack and my Huggies Newborn Starter Kit. Having a lazy day now. Absolutely starving though so having some crusty bread with butter and some BBQ rotisserie chicken. Yum!

Hello ladies and bumps!

Hope all is well

I now have sandals that fit my huuuuge swollen feet!! And they are lovely!!!

I must say that my first antenatal class 3 weeks ago I was the furthest along out of everyone but the only one at the class who had normal sized feet.. OH reminded last night of this so feeling better that I have got to 35 weeks before my feet ballooned.:rolleyes:

Thanks for the info!

My concern at the moment is my complete lack of ability to completely stop smoking.
I know i'll be hated/flamed/cursed for admitting it but i've been smoking the occassional cigarette still, to curb the cravings. I think once i've spoken to GP and confirmed the pregnancy it'll hit home more though and kick me into actually quitting altogether.
When i was pregnant with DS (6) i was still smoking 3 - 4 a day which i'm obviously not proud of but i was homeless and my partner had walked out on me so i felt it helped my stress at the time :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I've done 20 mins on the cross trainer today in my bid to get fit/lose some flab, although i'm not really dieting but am more conscious of eating that 2nd packet of crisps
