1st Trimester

1st pre-natal app?

When is your 1st pre-natal app? I am 9 weeks and my doctor didn't book me in until week 15, since that is when they expect to hear the heartbeat.Is that too long to wait, or is that normal? This is my first so I have no idea what the guidelines are. I'm just seeing my GP (no ob/gyn in my area, rural)EDIT: Actually when I recked the date it is at 13 weeks, but I'm still wondering...that seems late-ish to me... 

Re: 1st pre-natal app?

  • I had my first prenatal appt at 8 weeks. But i was going to a fertility doctor before hand. I was able to hear / see the heart beat at 6 weeks. When i was released from my fertility doc they said ob's usually schedule first appts around 8-9 weeks. I just think it all depends on the doctor.
  • With my first pregnancy I couldn't get in until 10 weeks and this time I am going in at 8wks/5days....my dr told me it's all a matter of what the schedule has available, but he wants to see his patients between 8-12 weeks.

  • My first appointment is with the nurse and it's just medical/family history and bloodwork and I'll be 6 weeks. At 8 weeks I actually see my OB and have an ultrasound.

  • My first appointment was supposed to have been around 8 weeks.  Due to some spotting, I went in at 5 weeks and 7 weeks.  We heard the heartbeat at 7 weeks.  I just had my second regular appointment yesterday, where I met with the nurse practitioner and went over family histories and had bloodwork.  My next appointment is at 12 weeks, and I'll see the doctor and have a pap.
