Lairdoz - welcome to the nut house Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Juniper - yep, it's perfectly normal not to see your OB until 12 weeks. And after that even though they usually say they'll see you every 4 weeks don't be surprised if they suggest no visits until 20 weeks. From personal experience I would still request a visit at 16 weeks as for us paranoid LTTTCers it's a long time between visits from 12-20, and until the baby is moving around it can be hard to believe everything is still going okay. As for the referrals, no worries for your GP to refer you to your OB, they shouldn't need proof, and it doesn't matter who refers you to the NTS as long as you have one.

Renee - glad you had your scan and all is well! I've had to jump up and down a bit in my scans too, so you're not alone in having a stubborn little one

Thanks to everyone for their nice words, it does help to make me feel better though of course i'm still as impatient as ever. And I keep receiving emails from women in my mother's group who are having their babies early...
