Is 9-10wks too late for my first Doctor's appointment?

Question

My insurance doesn't kick in until Feb 1, and on top of that I can't even call in and schedule an appointment until the 1st. I'm disappointed but still glad that my insurance will be kicking in soon. I feel fine, I'm almost 6wks...I just wanna see my baby! And make sure everything's going well.

Answer

My doctor office and the OB office I work in don't see ladies for their first OB appointments until they are 10 weeks along. So you will be perfectly fine. Waiting that long also increases the chances of hearing the heartbeat really clearly.

Answer

Same with the place where I work at, so I'm waiting til after I'm 10 weeks to be seen. :) right now there isn't much that can be seen anyways

Answer

Most doctors won't see you until then anyway. I'll be 11 weeks before I see my OB.

Answer

Ob's around me won't see you until 12wks unless your high risk.

Answer

My dr won't schedule an appointment until I'm 8 weeks.

Answer

What insurance did you get? I'm worried bc I have none and might be denied medicaid

Answer

I'm in the same boat...new insurance doesn't start till feb 1. I called and ask they said that was just fine. I'm curious why you can't make your appointment now? My only worry would be if you make it feb 1 you might not be able to get an appointment for a few weeks
