First Baby Appointment

Ok ladies, I am about 4 weeks 6 days. My husband has contacted the doctor and they told him that I should wait till I'm 8 weeks to go get checked out. But I have many women in my life who have miscarried in their first trimester and I would like to go in this week to at least have a peace of mind that all is well. So, just curious how many of you waited till 8 weeks.
