Hi All
I'm REALLY CONFUSED!! PLEASE HELP!!
DH and I found out I was pregnant at the weekend!!! Yay!!!
But now what do we do??
I have a genetic condition which might be passed on so need to have CVS tests at 11 weeks. The specialist at the hosp. said (when we saw him in Aug.) to see the GP to have the pregnancy confirmed, have a dating scan and get referred back to the hosp. once we fell pregnant. But all the info I've found say dating scans are done at 10/11 weeks and this would be too late to inform the hosp of our dates before the CVS needs to be done. I don't have a particular GP I see at my docs and to be honest I haven't had much faith in them when I've been the last couple of times (especially as the one I saw to get my original letter of referral couldn't even spell!!) so don't want to go at the 'wrong time' or waste their time with these questions so could really do with advise from you guys.
Would I need to see a GP on one appointment and then go on another occasion to have a scan? Do they have to refer me again to someone else for the scan? I don't have anyone I can ask cos we don't want anyone to know until after the CVS results at 13 weeks...just in case. I'd ring the surgery to ask but they're always so dismissive on the phone Any help would be great!
And what's all this about booking in with a hospital early on and all that? I don't want to jinx anything this early (only 4wks I think). Who would tell me about that??
Sorry for all the questions.
I just really need someone to talk to.
Thanks Lol
