When was/is your first appointment?

MindyBadger1 · December 2012

Mine isn't until jan 15th. The wait is going to kill me.

i asked if I should be seen earlier because of the "period" I thought I had... They said no since bleeding has stopped and I still have positives. Obviously come in sooner if problems arise.

I'm all about not wasting resources.... And I know I will be able to see the heart by then.... But this sucks!

I already went in to the OB to confirm pregnancy and do HCG levels.

My first prenatal visit is on January 7th! (I will be 8 weeks along then) Can't wait! Time is going by slowly!

lacilove248 · December 2012

We had an early ultrasound on 12/14, due to our other losses, but our first official appointment is this afternoon!

JilllyBean · December 2012

I had 2 betas done to confirm pregnancy and an u/s done at 6w4d. My first OB appt is right before I hit 11 weeks. I was on clomid to conceive, so I don't know if I would have had 2 betas done, but I think all the others were standard in my practice.

thellx · December 2012

My first appointment will be at 8 weeks and 1 day, on January 11.

Jomojack2 · December 2012

I had beta's done and just scheduled my first full appt for 1/14. which is not that far! I will be 8 weeks. Most places will not see you until 8-10 weeks.

Edkitten · December 2012

I am 8 weeks (according to the Internet) the ob wanted to see me this weeks but they were booked... With my work schedule my appointment is not until Jan 11th; I will be 11 weeks! It is driving me nuts! I just want to know that everything is okay

Peridot0812 · December 2012

I had an initial visit to confirm pregnancy last Wednesday at 6w 3d, dating ultrasound at 7w 1d and my first real OB visit will be January 4 at 8w 5d.

kje120 · December 2012

Mine won't be until 8 weeks - I haven't even called my OB yet since I know they won't be in any hurry to see me.

LnR70707 · December 2012

1st blood test was this morning...I won't see a nurse or have an u/s until later next week after all 3 blood test come back looking good. First OB appt will be between 8 and 10 weeks.

GreenDestiny105 · December 2012

My first visit and u/s was at 6w4d. I heard the heartbeat on that visit. She wants to see me back on January 4 to make sure I'm not losing too much weight because of the m/s I've been having.

paigejessica · December 2012

I had a dating ultrasound at 5 weeks 3 days and another last week at 7 weeks 4 days to see the heartbeat. Next one will be the NT scan from midend of January.

brockerln · December 2012

Due to my previous losses, I did 4 beta tests when I was 3 and 4 weeks. I had spotting at 4 w so, for the aforementioned reason, I saw the OB then as well. I also had a 5w2d U/S done. I think my OB understood my scare of a repeat ectopic, so he did this for my piece of mind to confirm my bugger was stuck in the right place. I have my 2nd U/S scheduled at 7w3d so we can confirm a heartbeat.

However, they originally just wanted to see me tomorrow for my first appointment before I spoke to my doctor about my concerns. I've heard OBs waiting until 8 weeks and even 11 weeks. There really is no sense of going any earlier, so long as you can speak to a midwife or nurse on the phone to answer any nutritional/lifestyle questions you may have, and you aren't considered high risk.

MrsI · December 2012

I could have gone anytime this week or next, I chose to wait until 1/4. Figured it was silly to pay this year and next years copay for insurance if I didn't have to. It will save us 100s of dollars to wait 1 week.

BlueJewelM · December 2012

Not until Jan 2. I could have opted to have it tomorrow but I decided to go for the later date because I wanted an ancy FTM to snag the 27th instead.

I will be 8/9 weeks at the dating Us.

atoz625 · December 2012

They dont see you till 10 weeks at my OB, so my first appt isn't till January 29th! I'll have my annual appt then too.

mrsf123 · December 2012

I got my hcg levels checked twice at the dr office. She said I could come back last week for a 3rd check, but I thought it was a waste of time so I didn't go. My dr appointment is tomorrow at noon. I'm nervous and excited!

QbertsWife · December 2012

My first appt is next week at 7w3d. That appt is just paperwork and crap, no u/s. I had a viability u/s today (due to previous losses).

amarissa85 · December 2012

Jan 3rd is my first appt. I was told that the provider I am seeing likes to do ultrasounds the first visit so there is a good chance I will get to see baby on this visit.

Dmaiorana · December 2012

Ours is Friday, according to my calculations I will be 7w5d. I'm so excited and scared at the same time!!!

anvloveskme · December 2012

I went to the lab the week I called for my appt. We have an US appt 12/31 and our first OB appt 1/7.

MommyAmes2 · December 2012

My first appt is Jan 2nd. I will be 8 weeks.

MrsSteSte · December 2012

My first appt was originally scheduled for Jan 7. But I ended up being seen last Friday for severe cramping, at 7w1d. I go back now Jan 14.

buggirl72 · December 2012

I had my second betas drawn today so I am waiting for those. My OB typically does a dating u/s next and first appointment at 8 weeks. If all is well with my betas I'll be asking for a referral to a peri so I'm not sure when that appointment will be.

coraggiosa · December 2012

My first visit is on January 21st - at 8wks4d. I can't wait!

Danyella1026 · December 2012

my first appointment is tomorrow, im only 6.5 weeks, i even asked if I should wait a little longer and they said to come in anyway, no problems/issues this time around or last. They said I would come back again around 8/9 weeks for my first ultrasound, i'm looking forward to seeing the little one!

coleann04 · December 2012

My first appointment was Dec 18, I was 7w4d and they just confirmed pregnancy. My next appointment is Jan 10, I will be 10w6d. It would have been sooner but the holidays made it hard to get in.

peanutmuse · December 2012

My first appt is on 1/23 @ 9w 4d. Dating ultrasound will be done then.

CaliforniaDream87 · December 2012

I've had HCG draws 4 times. I've also had my first viability US. My first appt is 01/07.

LiaMadi1 · December 2012

My first appointment isn't until Jan 15 too. I had some bleeding and some betas drawn, but since that has turned out okay they didn't want me any earlier. It will move quickly and the 15th will be soooo exciting!

Nascarmom48 · December 2012

I haven't had or schedule my first apt with with my OB, But I have been going to my F/S for my Beta and I have my first u/s on Friday after that I'll be releasted from my F/S and make my appt with my OB.

Mrs.KMid · December 2012

I've had infertility issues so I had Beta's on 12/4 and 12/6 then had an ultrasound on 12/14 due to spotting that was freaking me out, but our first official ultrasound will be on Friday when I will be 8w1d.

cbwelch30 · December 2012

It's nice being able to read everyone's posts and seeing that i am not the only one feeling this way! I go to my 8 wks check up on Jan 2 and I can't wait. I need someone to tell me baby is ok and it's "official"

I had my first appointment at 8 weeks, I have a ultrasound tomorrow to "confirm" my due date- but at my appointment they said I was measuring 8 weeks. so hopefully nothing changed But my next one isn't until Jan 18.

Best of luck to you!

Laurakat81 · December 2012

My first was at 6w2d, second was at 7w2d, third was today at 9w, and my fourth will be at 10w2d. I'm grateful to be getting the opportunity to see my sweet baby so often but the stress of ultrasound day is overwhelming. I can't wait until I get to be a regular every four week patient!

MrsDiff22 · December 2012

I had my confirmation appt and betas at 4w2d and then repeat betas at 4w4d. I had my ultrasound and second appt at 6w5d last Thursday but I have a history of early losses so it was for viability. My next appt isn't until Jan 21 and I will be 11w2d.

WashingtonQueen · December 2012

Mine was on January 15th but I had to change it to January 18th.

EJPint · December 2012

My first OB visit (with u/s) is January 10. I've had HCG draws at the lab, but no u/s and no visit yet.

kanned0121 · December 2012

My official first appt is on Friday, 12/28! I'll be 8 weeks, 6 days! At 6 weeks, 6 days I had an u/s and saw the baby and heard the heart beat! Sooo awesome! Just hoping and praying the baby is still in there growing strong.. I'm nervous due to lack of symptoms.

babydancer83 · December 2012

I had mine today bc I had spotting Monday and Tuesday.. and they were on airing on the side of caution due to my mc in sept.

Everything looked great! They saw a HB Flicker and looks like I'm a little over 5 weeks instead of 6wks 3days.

They also did a 5th blood work draw on me to check levels again. I remember my first pregnancy this summer, I had to wait 8 weeks and it felt like forever!!!

It will come soon enough
