What to do next?

Question

Hey all!
Just got my first positive home test (well more like 4 positives lol) and I don’t know what to do next. 
We moved and I haven’t found a new PCP for myself. Do I schedule an appointment with a new Primary Care doctor or do I go straight for obgyn? What do I say when I call?
Also, I know it’s still early but when does choosing the physician that will care for you during pregnancy and delivery? 
Thanks!

Answer

You don’t need to see a doctor. When you’re about ten weeks, see your birth provider - I highly recommend midwives over OB/GYNs. They’ll tell you your schedule from then on, usually once a month until you’re in your third trimester. Then every two weeks, then every week from about 36 weeks til you deliver.
So for now just research providers. Schedule times to meet with them and ask questions. You have a while until you need to be seen by anyone, so take your time.

Answer

I picked my obgyn through my hospitals website cause he had the best reviews. I don't go to my primary care first, i call the womans center and they schedule a nurse consult where they draw your blood and talk about the dos and donts of pregnancy, then set your first ultrasound for inbetween 10 - 12 weeks pregnant. Best of luck ❤

Answer

Depends where you doctor. Where I doc and work they want you to meet with a family practice doc and get the initial OB appointment. Then we get a referral to OB/GYN. 
So I would just call and check with the provider/office you are going to use.
