Going to the OB too early
For my first pregnancy I went to the OB pretty much as soon as I found out I was pregnant. They, of course, did an ultrasound and saw only a sac (it was wayyyy too early to see anything) freaked me out because of the fact, sent me to do lots of blood work and then weekly appointments to monitor the progress. This all completely stressed me out and that pregnancy unfortunately ended in miscarriage. The second time I didn't go in till almost 10 wks and I saw a midwife, the whole process was so much more enjoyable! After a successful pregnancy/birth I'm pregnant again and definitely think i will be waiting till at least 10 wks again before informing my doc. It just seems like going in super early is way too stressful, unnecessary and, not to mention, expensive! Of course I'm curious about my baby, but unless there's a problem I'd rather stay away until 2 trimester. Thoughts? Anyone feel similar?
