First scan date - UK?

Question

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone out there in their first trimester is in the U.K., and if so I'm wondering when you are getting your first scan? I have my first midwife appointment next week (my week 8) but have been told there will be blood tests but not a scan and I have to wait for a letter from the hospital to book this in - letter will take approx another two weeks then I'm working out I'll probably be starting my second trimester before I can get an appointment for first scan. Is this the process everyone else is having? This seems much later than I thought it would be.

Answer

First scan is around 12 weeks usually, although they say 8-14 weeks in the leaflets I got at my booking appointment. I guess that's since they can't guarantee how far along you'll be.
We just had our first scan this morning, 12 exactly (according to measurements).

Answer

They booked my first scan in the midwife appointment. Mine is booked in for 4th Sep, when I'll be 12 weeks and 2 days. I wouldn't worry about early scans or anything. Your scab will soon be here.

Answer

My friend had her first scan on exactly 12 weeks. When I got pregnant because I'm high risk I had my first scan at 5 weeks and every other week until they stopped growing x
