waiting for first appt

LT
So my doc has referred me to an OB. However, I'm not supposed to see them until around my 12 week mark. Right now I am almost 7 weeks, and am so anxious! I have no idea how I am going to wait that much longer for an appt and US. I see lots of people on this app that have those things much earlier. Is that because of the difference between Canada and the USA? Just trying to figure out how to calmly make it thru the next 5 weeks.
