how to keep my mind off how far my first appt is?!?

I'm about 6 weeks, according to my own calculations, and won't see my OB until October 8th (about 3 weeks)... How do I stay sane in the meantime? Any advice?

Re: how to keep my mind off how far my first appt is?!?

  • I wish I could help you out... I don't see mine until Oct. 15th! I just try to put it out of my head.... And that is oh-so difficult when everyone else posts about their appts!

  • If you figure it out, please let me know.  Stick out tongue
  • mine is not til Oct 20th.   let me know when you find a way.

    Although, I am pretty busy at night and on the weekends so that keep me distracted.   But during the day....I find myself thinking about it more and more.   Wow...that is a million years away.

  • I would like to know to.  I meet with the nurse on October 5, then I don't see the doctor until the 19th!

    I hope everything is okay.

  • Its sooo hard!! Even when I'm busy with nursing school... Plus it doesn't help that I'm in my OB rotation this semester...so I can't escape pregnancy brain at all!!!
  • Let me know as well, my doctor here is booked up, so I can't get in un Nov 4, which puts me into my 2nd trimester. I'm already nervous, now I have to wait another 6 weeks.

  • T - 2 weeks and counting!  I can't wait, but at the same time I don't want to get too excited.  I've heard that the first appointment is mostly paperwork, blood and urine tests.  This is my first, so I doubt I'll get to hear the heartbeat or get an ultrasound.
  • Same here, I have my first appointment October 22. I feel like I am gonna go crazy! LOL I just wanna hear a heartbeat.

  • I have already had an u/s and will have another next week.  While I am happy that I get to see my baby so early (if all is well!) I know it will make some ladies envious. If it hadn't been for my previous m/c I would be waiting until I was 8/9 weeks at the earliest for my 1st appt. While I am happy that I get to see my baby sooner, I would give anything to not have gone through the sad reason for it.

     And how to wait? Window shop maternity shops. Buy pregnancy books (I love 'Your Pregnancy Week-by-Week'). Eat well, sleep much, and be happy! You have a new life growing under your heart!
