Ftm and first scan booked for 12 weeks

I was hesitant to register at first as I felt at 5 weeks it might be too soon, but online advice suggested I register ASAP.
I recieved my booking appointment date for when I will be exactly 12 weeks. Has anyone else had this? I know its still in the window where I can have screening, and it seems like they are combining the booking appointment with the dating scan appointment?

I know the NHS is stretched but it also makes me a bit nervous and I want to stay aware to be able to advocate for my own health. Like many FTMs its fairly daunting and lonely.

Sons first birthday

My sons 1st birthday was a month ago , and I’ve been recently told by a friend of my soon to be ex husband that I made the party all about me and I shouldn’t have opened the presents and I should have let him open them all ..
certain people were already running late as usual , and other people were already wanting to leave . And that makes me a bad mom for trying to keep things afloat?

Measuring 2cm Small at My Midwife Appointment—Worried!

At my recent midwife appointment, my fundal height was 2cm smaller than expected and will assess this at my next midwife appointment in two weeks time. Anyone else had this and did baby catch up? I'm a bit anxious and would love to hear your experiences, feel like being referred for a scan now would have been better rather than waiting another 2 weeks.. ? First pregnency.
