When the latest you should see the doctor?

Question

So my fiancé is getting our insurance together but it is going to take another week before it kicks in, . I just turned "4" weeks pregnant. If counting first day of last period. When is the latest I should be seen?

Answer

Most places wont see you until 8-12 weeks anyway. Too early an ultrasound you wont see anything and youll just stress for weeks for no reason

Answer

There's not much they can do at six weeks. I would say if you want a Nuchal ultrasound, make your first appointment around eight weeks so they can schedule that.

Answer

Standard for first appointment here is 8-12w, unless you have known risk factors.

Answer

Most drs won't see you until almost second trimester unless you are known to be high risk.

Answer

I personally wouldn't want to wait beyond 9 weeks, but unless you're having pain or bleeding, you're safe to wait until 12 weeks. Some practices won't even take women before then anyway. Just make sure you stop smoking/ drinking alcohol (obviously) if you do, pay attention to your body during whatever your normal exercise routine is so you don't overdo it, and Google pregnancy food restrictions and make choices on your diet from that. (No raw fish, cook your meat well, etc.) and start taking prenatals. Congrats mama!

Answer

Nuchal translucency scan is not needed. It causes a lot of worry due to a high rate of false positive readings. It's being phased out.
You need to eat Healthy Drink Plenty of water and Take a good prenatal....like rainbow light prenatals😉

Answer

8-12 wks is standard around here too. There isn't really much they do early on. Just take your prenatals!!

Answer

You can make the appt now. First prenatal visits are often at 8-10wks.

Answer

You can't even go yet until you're at least 6 weeks so your insurance will be ready to go by then. If not, insurance will reimburse you.

Answer

I would at least call and make an appt. It can take awhile to be seen, mine have all been scheduled a month out from when I called. I couldn't wait to go and had ultrasounds at 5 and 7 weeks because of being on fertility meds and having surgery the cycle before, they wanted to be sure it was tubal. I didn't request this, they asked to see me. If you're healthy, there's no need to go to early but it's nice having your intake, at least at my doctors office, because you hear the heartbeat and get lots of magazines, other info, and coupons. Congrats!
