Well thatnks girls for all that, the outcome was........

I went to doc yesterday and he asked why i was there, ok he's busy but a quick look at my notes should have preped him. He gave me a form to fill out and send to the hospital to arrange my booking in appointment then asked where i wanted my scan done. I said well i'd kind of like one of those 4d ones if i can find somewhere, he said he had no idea what a 4d scan was let alone where to have one as he'd never heard of them and said there you go there's a referral to the local imaging centre. he felt my belly took my bp and that was that. No chance to hear the heartbeat or to even discuss the 4d scan so he could help me find out.

I fancy having a 3d one done later on but i'd heard if you had the 4d for the anatomy scan then it would be partially covered by medicare, but hey if i have a 3d later then it's always an extra chance to have a look at bubs. Thats of course if i can find somewhere here that does them.

I have decided on shared care between my gp and the hospital but now i'm wondering if that was a good idea. I don't want to go private as i never have before and don't see the need, plus as my due date is christmas i don;t want some OB advising a section or an early induction just so he can be sure of getting christmas dinner with his family

Once again thanks for the help.
