I found out that I'm expecting 10/4, so I'm a little over 5 weeks at this point. I called to make an OB/GYN appointment, and they won't get me in until 10 weeks. Is this a standard wait time for first appointments? Also, I'm not even seeing the doctor on that first appointment, it will be her NP. Is THIS normal? I thought about calling my regular OB/GYN that I see for my annual exam/pap smear to see if I can get in sooner. However, I wanted to switch providers since she really is the furthest thing from personable. I don't need a doctor to baby me and hold my hand, but it would be nice to have her answer my questions and not rush through the appointments.
I am a first timer, so lots of thoughts are appreciated!

Re: First Prenatal Appointment
I'm a first timer too. My doctors office does the first visit at 8 weeks with an NP and then an actual doctor visit at 12 weeks. As I nervous first timer, I don't love it but that seems to be pretty standard process. Plus I love my doctor and fully trust his office.
You definitely should be given plenty of time to ask questions and not be rushed. You should feel comfortable with your doctors office.
Good luck!
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
