Waiting for 1st appt. is just as bad as

turtlerun · February 2012

waiting the 2 weeks to test. Actually maybe worse since I have to wait until 3/15. How do you distract yourself? I am trying to keep in mind that I have it better this time around 8 weeks til doc appt. versus the 10 weeks I had with DS.

there is no distraction effective. Just the agonizing wait... counting the weeks, the days, the hours, the minutes? Lol. I know it's dreadful!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's more nevre racking then waiting for Christmas morning when you were a kid. And reading everybody's posts about having their first appointments aren't helping the cause any lol! GL with your pregnancy!

I am going crazy too having to wait. I called my doctor for an appt on the 5th & going in on thd 23rd. Being that this is my frist try & pregnancy, I am a wreck sometimes. I am going above & beyond with my health & zero caffeine & very lil sugar ingredient foods. I feel like I am being anal but want to know I am giving my all for my baby so my doctor appt will show that.

I know what you mean...I feel like it is taking forever for me, but now it is Thurs and my first appt is Tues! I would say just do anything you can not to think about how far away it is;) Hang in there!

I don't think it's quite as bad as the 2WW. At least I know I'm pregnant and at this point I can feel my body changing. It is hard to wait though. My first appt is on 3/15 too! Good Luck.

I so agree - last pg I went was with a different ob and she say me like the same week. This time I have to wait til 8 weeks 2/29. I have dreams about it every other night. It is horrible.

My first appointment is 3/14 which will be at ten weeks. I got a positive test at 3 weeks 4 days and that is when I called. It seems like agony. All I can do is think about that first appointment.

This 2WW didn't seem as bad for me, I felt like I 'knew' I was pregnant and I had a calmness about me. I'm hoping that continues as I wait, (3/19)- but I'm already getting paranoid.

I started a puzzle! .. GL!

I know. It's so hard. I don't know when I'll actually have an ultrasound. My first prenatal appointment is early March, and I'll be about 6 weeks, 5 days. But, my OBs office is really small (he's a solo doc) and he doesn't have u/s equipment in his office. When I was PG with DS the only reason I had an u/s before my 12 week NT scan was because I had a bleeding scare at 6.5 weeks. I know at his office they don't even try to hear the heartbeat on the outside with a doppler until around 10 weeks.

Since my OB is a family friend, I'm thinking of asking him at my 6.5 week appointment if he'll schedule me for an u/s for peace of mind. I can't imagine waiting another two months to see/hear the heartbeat.

Hang in there and try to relax as best you can.

I agree! When I took my test the receptionist said that he won't want to see me until 10 or 11 weeks and set my appointment up for when I was at 11 weeks. This is my first pregnancy and was not okay with it being so far away (March 20th). I called and talked directly to the doctor, since I have known him for a long time (my mom worked for him) and he got me in for the 27th of this month. I can't imagine waiting any longer!
