My GP gave me blood tests and cervical smear at 4 weeks, then I went back to him to get a referral for the Women's Health Centre and I've got an appointment this Friday. (13 weeks)

I thought at first this appointment included a scan but after reading information on their website I don't think it does. I'm a bit dissapointed as we have been really excited about the scan, my husband has taken time off work for the appointment and now I realise that the appointment will probably only involve taking my medical history. :-(

If you go private, can you get in for a 12 week scan at short notice? I have private health but I've opted to go through the public system for prenatal checks and use the private as a back up if I'm not happy with anything.

I'm just not sure if I should wait until my appointment at the end of this week, or just go ahead and book an early scan through my private insurance and then continue on with the usual 20 week scan through the public system.? Does that sound logical? ;-)
