12 week visit?

Hi all, I'm only 5wks along so far but I had a nurse visit a couple days ago and she scheduled me to come back at 8wks but not again until June. I hear over and over that the risk of miscarriage drops after a healthy 12 wk appointment plus I know a lot of people get ultrasounds at 12wks. Is it normal that it doesn't look like I'll be having a 12wks appointment? Should I ask my doctor at my 8 wk visit to schedule me one for 12wks?
