First Doctor's Appt is Today!!

in September 2015 Moms
I've been through this before, but I'm still very anxious and nervous. I'm secretly hoping my doctor is in the Christmas Spirit and wants to give me an early ultrasound :) However, I don't think that will happen, I didn't have one last time until I was 8 weeks along. 
When is everyone else's first appt? If you are a STM like me, do you remember how far along you were before your first ultrasound?

    My first appt with the nurse is Jan 2nd. My ob is stingy with the ultrasounds. I got one at 12 weeks with both but only because she had trouble finding the heartbeat. Otherwise she doesn't do one until the anatomy scan unless there's a problem

    I'm a FTM, my first appt is 2 Jan, my nurse said based in LMP I'll be 5 weeks. So I do not really know what to expect with this first appt.. I have been taking pre natal vitamins the last few months, but she said they're going to give me some at the appt.
    Question: should I stop taking the ones I've been taking (been taking Expexta) and start taking the ones they give me or finish the ones I have then start taking the ones they give me? Or does it not matter?

    Nah, if they ones you're taking work for you, I'd bring them in and let her know that's what your taking. Most likely at this appt they will go over your entire medical history, talk about what to do/not do, talk about the hospital you will deliver in, confirm with a urine test that you're pregnant, and set you up for an US BW 8-12 weeks

    Awesome! Thank you so much!

    I haven't found an OB yet, so I haven't made an appointment. I will get on it after the New Year. I feel so behind.

    @kendoo Yes Ma'am I am! I live in Oconee County so I'll be looking around Athens for an OB. I think I found one. Thank you so much though!

    @redandblack14‌ So glad to hear you found an OB.
    I live in Dacula, just a bit down 316 from Oconee... and I went to UGA ;) It's nice to meet a "neighbor" on here!

    @indogbeersiveonlyhadone‌ You can take any prenatals you want. The doctors office just gives them to you to save you money. However, last pregnancy, I took the ones from my doctor, and they made me sick.

    I recommend either gel or chewables. The chalky ones are hard to digest.

    I get no early u/s, boo.  I already had an appt with a nurse- confirmation. My next one is when I'm 6 weeks. But I don't get u/s until the NT scan if I opt in.

    Oh wow! I am originally from Lawrenceville and I went to UGA as well (I would include dates, but that would age me! Lol) It's so nice to meet you!

    I am a FTM with an EDD of September 5th. Just made my first appointment for January 5th. Feeling a bit nervous but mainly excited. Is there anything anyone brings/plans to bring to their first appointment? Thanks

    Nope. My doctor schedules the appointment at 8-10 weeks. They will do an ultrasound (probably not in early Jan). My doctor also gives me samples of prenatal vitamins and pregnancy lit.

    My OB schedules at 6-8 weeks. My first appmnt will be Jan 6 and then I get my first ultrasound Jan 10. I am scheduled for an early ultrasound at just about 7 weeks because of my recent mc. If not, my doctor won't usually do ultrasounds until around 10 weeks or so.
