Bummer...don't get to see OB for awhile

MrsRebecca · May 2009

My OB gives their first appt. at 12 weeks. I guess I have awhile to wait before I get an U/S or hear the heartbeat =(

ugh. mine won't see me for 8-10 weeks. my 1st appointment is exactly at 10 weeks. so tough to wait it out!!

I haven't had mine yet. ?I've been waiting... patiently.

?

I can't wait, and my BFF told me the first appointment was a bit of a let down. ?They just take blood, and do a pap

Come on. ?Stomps foot. ?I hope my doctor is different.

My doc gives first appt. at 7-10 weeks. I had my first appt. today at 7weeks and 4 days. I had an internal u/s done. Heard the heartbeat too. Hold tight!! It was hard for me to wait also!!!! Good luck : )

I've been waiting patiently too...mine is next Friday, I'll be just about 9 weeks.?

My doc gives the first appointment at 11 weeks so I don't go in until June 22nd. I do know that she does an internal ultrasound at that appointment so it's definitely something to look forward to.

same here... it makes me so mad because I have to sit around and be nervous for 5 more weeks.

That's pretty common--but I know what a bummer it can be. I had my first appointment at 8 weeks, but all I got was a pap smear. Nothing exciting about that!

The best thing about waiting until 12 weeks for an u/s is that you'll actually get to see quite a bit. As great as it would've been to see our little bean earlier, I'm really glad that I didn't have my first u/s until 12 weeks (yesterday, actually). We saw distinct body parts wiggling about and the heart beating like crazy. Absolutely amazing.

I know it's hard, but the wait is worth it....trust me!

Ditto this! I was further along than I thought with my first pregnancy, and at my second appointment, I had my first ultrasound which dated me at 12 weeks instead of 10. It was so cool to see the baby because he looked like a little person. We got the best ultrasounds pics of our pregnancy from that appointment.

Tha'ts a long time to wait, my ob sees patients at 8 weeks. Sorry you have to wait so long, but I've heard that's fairly standard too.

I finally get to go tomorow. I did get an ultrasound at 7 weeks but I'm high risk. I'm REALLY hoping to hear a heartbeat tomorrow.

Wow. 12 weeks seems so long! :-(

How are you feeling?

MrsRebecca · May 2009

Jenny- I'm feeling good! My dr. warned me today that it's just too early and to prepare myself. Blech.

Just talked to my OB and they scheduled my first three appts. I see her for the first time when I am 12 weeks and have my first ultrasound at 13 weeks. I'm still bummed about that. I'm hoping I can at least hear the heartbeat when I go in at week 12.

ETA: I'm a moron...just realized that the date they scheduled my first appt. for is actually 8 weeks which puts my first ultrasound at 9 weeks (they schedule it at the appt. and you have it a week later). Now I feel better

I have my first appt at exactly 10 weeks. The nurse said it's going to take 3 1/2 hours, so she said I may want to bring a snack! haha Smile
