Hello all,
I am at the very earliest stages of my first pregnancy, 4 weeks3 days.
On February 27th I will be about 7 1/2 weeks and I have my first Dr appt aside from the urine test to confirm my pregnancy and I'm unsure as to what to expect...
Will they look at my uterus to make sure the baby is in the uterus and not on the tube? I'm quite concerned about having an ectopic pregnancy, as I have been very crampy all over, but mainly in my left side, next to my hip bone, up towards my belly button. I have not had any bleeding and it's not even severe pain, I just want reassurance that the baby is growing where it's supposed to be.
So at what point in pregnancy do they check to make sure you're not having a tubal?
Thanks, everyone!
Re: First dr appt and ectopic possibilities
I would ask your OB's office when they schedule your first US. Many practices do it at the first appt, around 8 weeks. They would be able to tell at that point if it's ectopic.
If you have severe symptoms before then- cramps worse than a period, bleeding, etc., you should call and they can evaluate you for an ectopic if you're showing signs of one.
We're one and done!
