1st appt

muttpups

I called today to schedule my first appointment and I knew it would be a few weeks away, but I wasn't thinking I'd have to wait until October (9 weeks). I don't want to rush this whole pregnancy, but I hope that appointment gets here quickly so I know everything is okay! The waiting game is the hardest. The good news is that I go back to school (teaching) tomorrow so that'll keep me very busy for the next 37 days (but who's counting? ) 

 Is there anyone else who is waiting for their first appointment? At what week are you going?  

Edit: I just realized that since we're all due in the same month, probably a lot of us are still waiting for our first appt.  That was my "duh moment" for the night.

I have a call appointment with a nurse on 9/7 and then they generally schedule a physical exam and ultrasound 1-2 weeks after that - I will be 7 or 8 weeks by that time.  I hear you on the waiting being hard.  I am a total control freak so not having any control or say over what's going on with my body is very very hard for me.

Waiting sucks! My first appt and ultrasound is on wed Sept 8th. I think I will be 6w3d at that point if i am calculating correctly. I wanted it to be a week later, but my doc will be on vacation for 2 weeks and then we are on vacation. I hope we will be able to see the HB that early.

I'm having blood work now and PRAY my doc with see me sooner if my blood work is good.

But she usually makes people wait till their 8th or 9th week.

Normally my OB office sees patients for a first appointment between 8-10 weeks.

This time because of my previous loss, they're seeing me at 7 weeks (mainly for my peace of mind.) It does seem like a long time to wait, but I think a lot of pregnancy is waiting! :-) Hopefully this first part will zoom by. I'm sure the teaching will help it pass quick for you!

I'm not able to make my first appointment until after I go to this seminar at the birth center I plan to deliver at.  The seminar is next Thursday, Sept 9.  After we go, I can make my appointment, which will hopefully be within a couple weeks of that and I will be about 8-9 weeks.  From my understanding, that's the normal time frame getting in to see your dr.

I go on 9/22 for the whole mess of stuff - blood work, pap, ultrasound, history, so on and so on and so on...

I had two reactions when I scheduled the appointment.  The first was a wave of "holy sh!t I'm pregnant" and the second was the thought that I wasn't sure I could wait that long to see if everything is ok.  Will it make me a psycho if I POAS every week until then?

But I'm glad I get to have an ultrasound and hear the heartbeat on the first visit. (Just typing that made me have another OMG moment).  

GL to everyone else that's waiting....

My first appointment will be at 9 weeks as well, on 9/30 Waiting is definitely one of the hardest things for me as well. Hope time goes by fast!

I've had a lot of those "omg I'm pregnant" moments. It's so surreal.

Baby brain is getting to you already! lol Don't worry, it's hitting me too

I go the 27th for my first appointment, at which I'll be about 8 weeks..However, I'm starting to doubt my dating, so when I go to for my appointment on the 7th to solely talk about my meds, I'll ask her about a dating ultrasound - I think I'm actually earlier than I thought..I do not know, though, if an u/s is done at my 8 week appointment..it wasn't brought up..but I know it will be a fairly long and in depth appointment..I'll have to ask about the u/s when I'm there on the 7th..

I have my first Appt on Friday - I couldnt even make the appointment without crying. I am a bag of mess. I just have the dr confirmation and then scheduling the first ultrasound and the history and such. Not a big appointment,  but dh is really excited about it.
