How to survive the time till 1st dr. Appointment?

Question

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow if I calculataed it correctly and my first appointment isn't untill the 13th of january (which makes sense because you probably wouldn't see much anyways if it was earlier). It kills me not to know if averything is ok. I just want to see my little bean so the pregnancy can finally feel real. Obviously I'm excited but I also don't want to allow myself to get too excited becquse its so early. Does anybody feel the same way and has some tipps on how to survive this time?

Answer

Same... I'm coming up on 7 weeks according to the app but won't see my OB for another week and a half. I'm starting to experience more pregnancy symptoms but I don't think this will really feel real (or sink in!) til that first appointment.

Answer

I have my first visit on Tuesday (I'm 8w2d) and I'm going nuts! Literally counting the hours! Would have had it this past week, but of course with Christmas I chose to put it off rather than go too early to actually learn anything.

Answer

Update: I went to see my doctor today. Obviously there was no heartbseat yet as it's too early but everything seems to be developping accordingly. She could see an amniotic sac and the yolk sac. She said my uterus was heart shaped, and tese women are more likely to have some bleeding and even misscarriages in early pregnancy. She proscribed me some progesterone pills to stabilize the uterine lining and hopefully stop the bleeding. So I got some of my hope back. Next appointment is now the originally planed one on the 13th. Let's hope the the little bean sticks and everything keeps developping as it should :)

My first appointment is also January 13! Hang in there. We’ll get through this together.

Answer

Same! I am 7wks 5 days and I have had two high risk pregnancies in the past. My first appt for this baby isn’t until the 13th either and it’s killing me! I literally wake up everyday and pray that everything is ok! We can do this momma!❤️

Answer

Girl I’m literally going through the EXACT same thing. My appointment isn’t until the 22ND. I feel like I’m second guessing everything and like making myself think my pregnancy isn’t even actually happening. It’s so hard. I feel you. Idk if you can message on this thing but seriously we should get it touch to like keep each other happy and positive bc I am struggling so much with staying positive and making myself feel “sad” bc I don’t want to get overly excited and then something be wrong

Answer

Yep. 100%. I had a scan last week and they think I'm not as far along as they first thought, so estimated about 5 weeks rather than 7. Didn't see much but there was a yolk sac, so I was told that's a good sign, and to come back in a few weeks so we could see more. The main thing that is getting me through is the time of year and knowing my doctors are closed on certain days so just waiting (im)patiently until about the 6th of Jan!

Answer

I’m 6 weeks and I have to wait til February for my first scan 😅
