37+ wk scans get reserved urgent places because going on a month's waiting list is no help at that stage. A 20 week scan is far more routine and can afford to go on a waiting list if the clinic is busy.

Palmy sucks doesn't it. My MW tried to get me a scan to check fluid levels, & had to pull in a favour from the delivery suite. The earliest I could get anywhere was after my due date( at least 2 weeks). If the fluid levels had been too low that would have been too bad. I was busy tell her I will be fine, I carry small but she was concerned. As she said damned if we do & damned if we don't so she erred on the side of caution.

Interesting discussion.

In my first very accidental pregnancy where I didn't know dates, didn't have a clue if I missed AF, couldn't be 100% certain on when that whoopsie happened, do remember the "she'll be right" I got one scan <gasp> at 20 weeks!!! GP didn't order a dating scan, just gave me an internal LOL he used to be an obstetrician. Was out on his dates by 1 week. Which my 20 weeks scan picked up on.

Amazing how much it's moved forwards to getting scans at the drop of a hat.

A&C - that must have been a shock to find you were 20 weeks! I thinkat that stage it is much easier to work out how far along you are than early on as the uterus is well out from behind the pelvic bone... I was offered a dating scan with my 14 year old so they defo did them back then
mum to 3 lovely girls :D

with Caitlyn ,I had my first scan at 18 weeks , I was never even told about dating scans or 12 week scans ..maybe cos I was young ? I dunno ...

My friend had her first scan at 30weeks (the same day she found out she was pregnant ) I think she got in straight away cos the dr that called the scan place said he thought she was at least 6 months

LOL no I knew at 7 weeks. But I only got one scan at 20 weeks. Thought that you also had one later on but nope, just the one. I guess my Dr was confident being an ex-ob?
