So, she got pregnant by accident, but she's okay with it now and the father is trying to be involved which is good. I'm annoyed at her because she has known for three week that's she's pregnant and she STILL has not contacted a doctor to schedule a first prenatal exam and get a confirmation that she is pregnant. How do I tell you nicely that she needs to schedule something, because it is possible that she may have to wait a while (maybe 3 weeks or more) to actually get the appointment. Oh, I guess I could just say that.
Re: I'm annoyed at my Sister
With my first two pregnancies my doctors office wouldn't see/schedule me until between 8-10 weeks.
With this one I insisted that I be seen asap since I never made it to either first appointments due to m/c's.
Honestly? Don't worry about it. If she got a positive test, she's pregnant. There's really no need to "confirm" anything. As long as she goes in sometime in her 1st Trimester it's really not a big deal. Especially if she's not planning on having some of the early downs testing done. I'm sure she'll get around to it, she probably just needs a couple weeks to digest the whole situation.
And if you're worried about her having a miscarriage... you might as well stop. Even if she goes to the Dr. there is absolutely nothing they can do for her if she's going to lose the baby.
Exactly Jason'swife! I would worry more about making sure she's taking vitamins and getting the nutrients she needs.
I called the day I got a BFP and still wasn't seen until I was 8 weeks along. There is no reason she needs to confirm her pregnancy, as long as she got a + HPT and hasn't started her period.?
No, she shouldn't wait too long to call, but more likely than not they'll fit her in around 8-10 weeks. ?
