I’m in South Australia, I went to the doctor as soon as I got a positive test. He ordered me a blood test to check HCG and then told me to come back for results next day. All was good I was about 4 weeks he guessed by the numbers. In that appointment he took my weight, height, blood pressure, I had to get another lot of bloods done also a urine sample checking EVERYTHING. He also gave me a referral letter to see the OB and a dating scan referral.

I had to get an ultrasound first before seeing the doctor which was fine expect I was measuring 2 weeks back with doesn’t necessarily mean anything bad I hope! But being so early I could see a heart beat just yet only a yolk sac.

I went to my appointment with my OB and I first seen the midwife and she went through everything gave me a baby record book and again took my weight etc etc then I seen my OB and he was quite rude to be honest, said I had no heart beat etc told me to get another scan gift and took my book off me!

but I got told by a friend not to take it to heart because he usually only sees people after 12 weeks and I was only 7 w by that time (5w when I got my first scan). Which my doctor didn’t tell me to wait!

So I personally would wait till you’re maybe atleast 8 for a scan as I don’t think my regular doctor really new what he was doing and just caused me more stress 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Doctor check up
