Why is ob waiting so long?

Question

Per LMP I am 6w1d and OB says no ultrasound until 7/29…. 9 weeks? Why wait so long is this normal??

Answer

Pretty typical, most wait until there can be a something big enough to actually measure and check for heart beat. My OB typically gets you in any time past 8 weeks, usually earliest available. But they are really booked end of July/early August, I guess lots of babies due around that time, etc… So I’m being seen at 7 1/2 weeks. Had a chemical last month so I’m not complaining, just hoping little bean has progressed enough to see and measure things properly. 🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️ Sticky and healthy beans for us all!

Answer

I was 8 weeks 5 days on mine! I get another at 12 weeks 4 days.

Answer

It’s normal for them to get you in 8-10 weeks unless you have a history of loss or high risk pregnancy. With my first I believe I was 8 or 9 weeks. I’m currently pregnant with my 4th and high risk but with my first they had no concerns to bring me in earlier

Answer

I’ll be 12 weeks and 3 days. Pretty much out of my first trimester before I get my first ultrasound.

Answer

I have had 2 miscarriages almost back to back and this is my 5th pregnancy and I have to wait till I am 10 weeks to be seen and it’s frustrating but it’s what they do.

Answer

My OB is making me wait until end of 10 weeks even tho I’ve had multiple chemicals and a hard time getting pregnant (2nd baby) this past year 🤷🏻‍♀️ not thrilled about the wait but nothing I can do. Apparently it’s normal 🙁

Answer

Normal, most will wait til you can actually see something during the ultrasound.
