Hi Guys,

I've just found out i'm pregnant for the first time this week (awesome! TTC 3 months)and have gone to the GP and rang to make an appointment with on Ob also. Between the two of them they've talked about screening tests and scans and dating scans.

Can someone please tell me if I understand this right?

10wks - do a dating scan referred by GP to confirm dates and weeks
10wks - screening blood test for abnormalities referred by GP
12wks - screening scan referred by GP for Down's etc..
then off to Ob at 12 weeks and take it from there.

Is this right? I'm a little confused with what 'normally' happens and what I request to happen. Apparently the screening test and scan are personal option.

Help?

Thanks
Jules
