Almost 5 weeks pregnant

Marie

Hi! So I found out I am pregnant last week, I am almost 5 weeks and I called my doctor today to schedule the first appointment and they said the first apt is to confirm I’m actually pregnant, they can’t get me in until October 19th which is in 3ish weeks and by then I would be 7 almost 8 weeks I feel like that is super far out for the first appointment but that’s the earliest they can get me in. Is this common?

Opinions??
