WWYD?

I am 5 weeks tomorrow and do not have an appointment until I am 8 weeks for an ultrasound and informational meeting with my RE.  I emailed her that I am a little uncomfortable with waiting so long since I have never been pregnant before and wanted some information on pregnancy.  My RE emailed me back with no congratualions and with some bullet points on what I can eat and drink.  I called OB and I can get in for a 6 week informational with a nurse which is what I wanted and then an 8 week appointment.  Would you stick with your RE for the 8 week and then go to OB at 10 weeks like my RE said or go to OB?

I'd go with the OB. Once you're pregnant, there's not much the RE can do for you, especially if she's not going to give you early ultrasounds.

Good luck!

Ditto this. I had my first u/s at 7 weeks and another at 9 when I was released.

will the ob give you an u/s? I wouldn't do the appt with them unless they do an u/s.  Otherwise go! Your RE doesn't even need to know.

I was released from the RE after the u/s that showed the heartbeat.  I didn't have an OB appointment until 10 weeks, largely because of when appointments were available.  This is pretty normal.  Welcome to the normal pregnancy club.

Thanks everyone.  The only reason I am still thinking about going to the RE is becaue I am on progesterone and estrogen and they will tell me when to stop that.  I am getting an ultrasound at 8 weeks with the RE. I wish I was getting one a little sooner.  How far along before they can see a heartbeat?

I would wonder about the OB giving you an u/s in the first place. Most of the time the heartbeat is detectible in weeks 6 or 7. I would stick with the RE since you know you will get an u/s with them and don't want to be disappointed if the OB won't give you one.

Thanks. I guess I will stick with my RE since I know for sure I will get a U/S. I am probably just over thinking and worrying too much.
