First doc appt

Mallory
Sooo I met with the doctor's nurse when I was 6 weeks, and they said the doc doesn't meet with patients until they're 12 weeks along, at least. Thank the Lord we were able to squeeze in a sonogram when we were 7 weeks or else I would be going crazy! Is this normal- not having your first appointment with the Doctor until at least 12 weeks? It's seems odd to me....
