When should the first appt be?

Question

I called to make a Dr appt and they booked me in for November 4th and said that they dont see mothers until 10-12 weeks... is this normal? I see many posts about confirmed blood tests and 6 week ultrasounds? I live in Canada if that makes a difference?

Answer

I’m not scheduled until mid October I think it’s fairly normal :)

Answer

At my doc they want you to come in to confirm pregnancy with a pee test between 6-8 weeks and then they schedule your first ultrasound 10-12weeks and 2nd doc appointment!

Answer

I’ve had past losses, so I now get repeating bloodwork from positive HPT 4-5 times to ensure levels are doubling appropriately and US around 6 weeks just given my past. But this is normal to not be seen until 8-10 weeks!

Answer

I’m at a fertility clinic and that is why I am getting bloodwork and an early ultrasound.  However, even if your ob won’t see you, I’m sure they can order bloodwork for you, just so you know where your levels stand.

Answer

I think it depends on the doctor. My doctor won’t see me until 9 weeks.

Answer

Mine isn’t until Nov 7th. We are getting a free private scan from a place kinda like Healthy Start in about two week. A lot of states have places like these but you have to find them.

Answer

I think many of the women who have early doctors appointments are those that sought medical advice or intervention to conceive.  My doctor isn't seeing me until 8 weeks and I am fine with it.

Answer

I’ve had a past missed miscarriage and miscarriages and my doc only sees people starting week 8. I think it just depends on your doctors preference.
