Hi ladies! I will be making my appointment with my midwife tomorrow. I've known I was pregnant for over a week, but haven't called yet. I miscarried in June and have just not been in a hurry to make the appointment.
My question is, if you had previously had a m/c, did you doctor want to see you sooner than the typical 8-10 weeks to run your betas or anything? TIA!
Re: 1st appointment if you have previously m/c
Congrats and welcome back! Neither of my drs. saw me any earlier for DD or for this pregnancy. They did keep an eye on my numbers, but didn't seem overly concerned. Each time my u/s was scheduled for a little over 7 wks. Since that 10 week marker is stuck in my head (when I had a m/c), just to get past that point makes me feel better! Now, just 2 more weeks to go until I feel like I can get more excited.
GL and best wishes.
my dr brought me in a week earlier than the normal 8 weeks. the nurse was going to schedule me for a 6 week appt but said I probably wouldn't see much on the ultrasound. I figured that alone would freak me out so we decided on the 7 week appt. It prob depends on the dr.

Congrats on your BFP! Nope -- my OB wants to see me for my 8 week appt from LMP (according to LMP I will be 6 weeks tomorrow - but I charted and I know I o'd late). So, she will actually see me at 7 weeks....but no monitoring betas before. She is allowing me to go in for an early u/s though -- which is this coming Friday.
Good luck to you this time around! Are you feeling different about this one? I sure am.
Congratulations on your BFP!
My OB is only seeing me at the typical 8 weeks which I found kind of surprising. But it sounds like that is standard. After I made my apt, I was thinking about it for a couple of days and I did call them and ask for my progesterone levels and betas to be checked. Really for my peace of mind more than anything else.?
Happy & healthy pregnancy to you! ?
I think that you and I are in the same boat! I am crossing my fingers for a healthy pregnancy. I see the doctor Wednesday for an ultrasound:)
Good luck!
w/ my first apt I made my appt a few days after I received my BFP. My first apt I just peed in a cup to confirm. My second was bloodwork and I go back tomorrow. I m/c in august last year. They have yet to check my levels etc
