No appointment until February

novameh · December 2013

My midwives/birth center don't see women for first OBs until 10-12 weeks. My appointment is 2/7 and I totally don't mind waiting (did with DS) except that all these heart rate check-ins have me antsy to hear ours!

Anyone in a similar situation?

I'm with you. My first appointment is 2/10.

Yep, my first appointment is Jan 10 and I'll be 10.5 weeks. That's pretty standard, I think. I did have a miscarriage in Sept, but they did a few blood draws at the beginning to make sure my HGC was rising. It was all fine, so we go in for the first time next week.

I'm in the same boat! First appt is at 10w 5d.

My first appointment is Jan 6, so sooner than some but I'll be 9 weeks 3 days. Feels late compared to others, but with DS I didn't have an u/s or hear the heartbeat until the NT scan.

Same boat. My OB comes to my hospital once a month and the earliest I could get in was Feb 4th. I should be 11w1d by that time.

Yes, I will be 10 weeks at my first ultrasound. I wish I could have had one sooner, but understand a busy practice where I would imagine they give priority to the ladies who are at the point of weekly appointments. It's a good practice in patience and surrendering control.

My OB sees patients at 8 to 10 weeks. D/t the holidays mine is on 10w3d. The only reason I had an u/s already was d/t the fact I was with a RE.

Same here, I'm so jealous others have heard their little ones heart beat, I don't have an appt till 11wks. I just keep thinking there will be more to see the further along I am haha

Mine is February 6th. They have sent me requisitions for blood work but I am not bothering to get those taken until next week. I could go see my family doctor, but he was a douche my last pregnancy and I told my OB's office that I refuse to go see him again. In Canada, you really don't get an U/S until you are 20 weeks anyways, so my best bet is when the Doppler kicks in. My family doctor tried for all of 5 seconds and gave up last time and my OB will actually look for it and find it.
