Got BFP! What next? Help please

Question

Got my BDP this morning. I have no clue what to do next? I don’t have a gyn that I ever visited. Should I take an appointment or no? If so for what? I plan to see a midwife, will they see this early? What should I ask? Please help!

Answer

Deep breath! Congratulations. First I would look for someone who takes your insurance . If you aren’t covered I would call job and family services and get some medicade (as long as you meet the requirements ) then relax until your appointment. Some obgyns make you wait a while for your first appointment! 
Be patient and try not to stress . Congrats again!

Answer

Congrats! And yes, now that you’ve had a BFP, call your provider of choice to make the appointment. When you call, your first appointment will be typically made between 9-12 weeks. They don’t see you earlier unless you have an issue.
Also, when you call: Personally, I’d recommend asking if they’d write an order for a bloodwork like today so you can get get your HCG and progesterone levels checked to ensure that A) your pregnancy is progressing accordingly with HCG (levels are rising/doubling per 48 hours) and that B) your progesterone isn’t too low. If it’s low, you can get a supplement prescribed. This gives peace of mind to your pregnancy being viable. I wish I would’ve known to do this for my first pregnancy (miscarriage) but I did with my second, got on a supplement that I needed, and now I have a healthy baby. :)
