No appointment until Dec 2 - is this normal?

Question

I got my BFP Monday eve and called my doctor yesterday.  About 5 weeks along. The receptionist called me back and booked the appointment for Dec 12 (knowing my LMP was Sept 5). But I know other girls who went at 6, 7, 8 weeks for their first appointment. Any idea why mines so late? Did they make a mistake with me?

Answer

A lot of doctors wait till after your 1st trimester to see you. If you want to be seen sooner you might look into a different doctor.

Answer

It's just normal. You'll be about 12 weeks and your US will be good to see the Baby. You can ask if your doc want to run some blood work bevore.... but you can nothing do than wait. Most time if US is very early it'll scare you more than give you easing because most time there isn't something to see.... So mabe call your doc and ask if it's normal to ease your mind!

Answer

This isn't even an US, it's the first appointment with the doctor. I have no idea if he's an obstetrician or not, even. They were closed today so I'm going to call tomorrow and ask to talk to the nurse.. Thank you for the advice/insight!

Answer

It's normal. Some OB won't see till your past 10 weeks. I got my positive saturday and won't see my OB till end of November around 10-11 weeks.

Answer

Mine was at 6 I'd keep calling around to see if they can at least get your labs and blood work done sooner

Answer

My first u/s is scheduled for 7 weeks exactly

Answer

My first appt is at 10 weeks, and it's with a nurse practitioner only. Won't see dr until 14 weeks. This all sounds fine and normal to me, as there's not much to do at this early stage!

Answer

I went at 10 weeks

Answer

Was that the first available appointment?  I wonder if you can call back and request something sooner, around the 8-week point.
