How long do referrals usually take for a pregnancy scan? I saw my doctor 2 weeks ago and I have another 4 weeks before I’m 12 weeks, just wondering when I should expect it thanks :)

You will need to see the Dr again and he will give you one at the appointment.
You’ll need to go back to your gp to get a referral. For each of my pregnancies once it was confirmed I was pregnant with a blood test I was given a referral for a dating scan, and rang to book it myself. After the scan I went back to my gp and was given a referral to an obstetrician.
Your doctor should have given you an ultrasound request form at your appointment. You will then have to call an Ultrasound Clinic and book an appointment. I wouldn't be waiting for the doctor as they probably wont send a referal. Make another appointment an request the form as you will also need a pathology form for blood tests that go with the 12 week Nuchal Translucency Ultrasound
