Answer

I am in California, and agree with the above poster - it varies from Doctor to Doctor.  I alr day had an OB assigned, and I picked my own knowing she was covers by my insurance.  I essentially told my primary care doctor "this is my OB.  What paperwork do I need to sign?".

That being said, the week I found out I was pregnant (4weeks) I notified my OB.  She was going to pull me in at 10 weeks for lab work and ultrasound until she found out I am doing initial work at the IVF Clinic.  So my fi St appointment with her is 12 weeks.

Do NOT be afraid to demand information!  I come in with a written list of questions each time and hound them until all my questions are answered.  I will also be more up front about demanding information or an appointment with OB if I have major concerns.

Answer

My naturopath started me on prenatals when we first started trying to conceive. Now that we are finally pregnant, after our first ultrasound with our fertility doctor if that all looks good will be going to our midwife for care rather than an OBGYN, as we want a non hospital experience.

Answer

As far as how far along when the obgyn sees you, I've noticed that at least where I go in Ohio they're all different. Mine prefers somewhere between 7 and 8 weeks. I'll be 7+2 for my appt on the 26. But other than picking up and order for lab work and scheduling my appt that's all I've dealt with the obgyns office. As far as scheduling my appt I called them myself and they asked when my last missed period was and schedule my appt from that. And that seems to be pretty standard
