Does 10 weeks seem late for first prenatal visit?

Question

I got a blood test confirming that I am pregnant on Monday and my GP gave me a referral to an OB. I called them and they said to come in at 8-10week but I’ll be overseas for week 8&9 so booked for week 10. I feel like this is a long time to wait to confirm things are progressing - should I try finding an OB that will see me at week 7? Is there any harm in having a u/s at both week 7 and again at week 10? Thanks ladies !!

Answer

My regular dr put in the requisition for a dating ultrasound at 7 weeks. I didn’t get an apt with my OB until 12 weeks. At your first apt they just go over your medical history and your family’s, answer any questions, have you pee in a cup, and you get to hear the heartbeat. It’s pretty simple and there’s not a whole lot going on...

Answer

most of them won't do a actual appointment until 9-10 weeks. the first one 'appointment' they'll have you doing paperwork and telling you things to look out for.

Answer

That's normal time

Answer

That's super normal (my mom is a nurse and aunt is an obgyn). Before the 10 week mark the baby may or may not be very visible because it is so small, so often doctors wait so they can get a good view and a good measurement and idea of your due date. Just start taking prenatales, getting rest, and celebrate while you still feel well :)

Answer

It’s normal! Baby will be a good size by then! Just try to relax

Answer

Yeah both my first and this pregnancy I’ve had to wait till I’m between 9-10 weeks. I want to saw with my first I was a little over 10 weeks.
