1st appointment not til 10/28/16

Becky
So I'm 37 and totally or my 1st rodeo, actually this is my 5th baby. All my births have been healthy and the last was a c section only due to arm presentation. My Ob/gyn said they would see me til I was 8 weeks which is Friday but the receptionist can't get me in til the 28th and I will be 11 weeks. I'm taking prenatal vitamins but I don't know it just seems like they should see me sooner? Also they don't do lab work to make sure you are pregnant unless you have a history of miscarriages. Totally different from the last 4 offices. ( my doctors keep retiring). This place come highly recommended and its in the hospital I will deliver at so I don't doubt it's worth the wait. Am I going to be missing anything in the weeks prior to my appoint?
