Scan

OK, so now I know how the scan stuff is arranged.

The doc sent a letter off to the local maternity service (at St George's Hospital) and hey presto a letter comes back to us with the details fo the first scan.

It's fairly straightforward, and the lettter, remarkably, is written in fairly clear English rather than officialese. I'm impressed. Our scan is for between Christmas and New year, in week 12 (I think, remember to count in weeks!).

We also have another letter with details of the midwifery servce with a number to call to arrange a visit.

Pretty good.

Underneath it all, I am close to panic: will the baby be OK, will we make it to full term, will she be OK... The future is RUSHING towards me.
