What to do between positive pregnancy test and eight week OB/GYN appointment?

Question

So I got a positive pregnancy test on Saturday, yay! I just called my OB/GYN to get set up and they said they will see me at eight weeks. I can’t believe I will have to wait another three weeks to see a doctor!
Is there anything I should be doing/tracking in this time?

Answer

Take a prenatal daily. Make sure you’re drinking 80-120+oz of water daily. Eat what you can. Enjoy being pregnant! ❤️

Answer

take prenatals. that’s it. that’s actually a pretty short amount of time to wait.

Answer

I’m in the exact same situation!! Waiting til my appointment on September 14 seems like forever! 
Congrats!

Answer

Not really.
Just taking prenatal vitamins, eating and drinking plenty.

Answer

I wasn’t given an appointment til 10 weeks after finding out at 4 weeks. If there’s no reason to be alarmed they won’t schedule until 8+ weeks out. 
I made an appointment at an ultrasound spa around 8 weeks just to have peace of mind bc I just couldn’t wait until the end of August. It was $69 but I got to hear the heartbeat and see the baby. I feel much better now that I saw the baby and heard the heartbeat.

Answer

Congratulations! Just make sure to take/keep on taking prenatal vitamins. It's a waiting game at this point
