When is your first prenatal visit?

Hi all! I'm almost 5 weeks along and just scheduled my first visit. My doctor won't see me until 9 weeks. (4 more weeks of torture in my opinion after 2 losses!) When is your first apt?

Re: When is your first prenatal visit?

  • My first appointment is at 8w3d. The wait is torture!

  • I'll be almost 10 weeks. My appointment is September 15th. They wanted to see me between 8 and 10 weeks. I'm off work the 14th and 15th so that was easiest.
  • Sept 8th, I'll be just over 9 weeks. Yes painful wait!!

  • Oh good! I'm not alone! How are you guys staying sane? I'm torturing myself with Google! I don't go in until 9/16.
  • Tomorrow!!! I'll be 7 weeks, typically they see patients at 8 weeks at my practice but I have my students next week and just meetings this week, easier to miss. I'm so excited!

    Mine will also be in my 9th week... Still have a couple weeks to go, ugh. Yep, I'm going crazy having to wait so long.
  • Oh wow I feel like in going in way too early. 5 weeks today and I'll see my doctor in 2 days.
  • Next week at 7 weeks. They usually wait until after 8 but I go back to work and it was easier to schedule a little early.
  • Mine is 13w1d. For. Ever. Away.

  • I haven't made mine yet surprisingly. I will be 4 weeks on Thursday, so maybe I will call and schedule next week. I feel silly to call any sooner when I'm still before my missed period.

    My original appt was at 11w3d but I've felt really uneasy and anxious (first timer) so hubs and I agreed to find another doc. They are getting me in on Monday, 8w on the nose, I'm so relieved!
  • I'm going in 9/21 which is 8 weeks. And yes after 2 losses it's very difficult to wait that long.

  • I'm going tomorrow, I'll be almost 7 weeks. They wanted to see me around 6 weeks for a sonogram. Glad they'll be getting me in early...that wait was hard enough! Good luck to all the ladies who still have a while :(

  • I just switched doctors and they a confirmation of pregnancy ultrasound at 6 weeks. I was surprised bc I had to wait until 8 weeks with my previous pregnancy.
  • Almost 9 weeks with the nurse and business center, and just over 10 for the initial with my OB. Likely no U/S until 20 weeks.

  • September 28th, I'll be 10 weeks 6 days. The wait is killing me!
  • I'm 4 weeks and 4 days with my 1st pregnancy. Went to my first appointment today because I experienced spotting and a little cramping they asked me to come in earlier than next week, when I'm 6 weeks. They placed me on EPM, early pregnancy monitoring because they didn't see a visible sign of pregnancy from my ultrasound. So they took my blood today and did an exam. I have to go every other day for the next 10 days so that they can monitor my blood hormone levels. So fingers crossed. The PA explained it could be perfectly fine, could be ectopic, or could terminate but they won't know until 6 weeks or so. So I'm hopeful everything goes smoothly.

    I waited for 40 minutes to see the PA, not the OB I requested. I ended up being super late for work as well two hour appointment. Because of the frequency of the lab appointments coming up this next week I had to cave in and tell my boss just so he knew why I would be coming and going. Hated I had to share the news before my hubs and I were ready.

  • 6 week ultrasound next week
  • Next Monday! I'll be going in at 7w3d. Sooo long to wait!
  • I will go at 7w3d...it is torture. I'm 7 hpt's in already because I'm a nervous wreck! Monday can't come soon enough.
  • I had mine today!!! Woohoo!! Due date is April 2nd!! We had a healthy little blob!!! Whew!
  • They will see me next Friday 6w5d! Can't want I did ivf and they transferred 2 embryos so we'll see if we have one miracle or two
  • Mine is at 8 weeks 4 days! Just two more weeks!!
  • Mine is at 10 weeks so not until 9/22. Five weeks away..... The anxiety is killing me! I'm trying to keep busy and find ways to make it go faster. It's my first too. The only think that makes it better to me is that by 10 weeks there will actually be something in there that resembles a baby, which will be really nice to see!
  • August 24th...ill b exactly 8 weeks
  • I have mine today at 7 weeks 2 days. Needless to say that is why I'm posting this at 3:30 in the morning! Can't sleep, too excited!
  • Are you all meeting with OBs or your family doctor? I had a meeting with my family doctor who is doing co-care with the hospital (public healthcare model in Australia)

  • A week from tomorrow! I'll be 8 w 4d... I was hoping they would have bumped it up earlier since I had been dealing with spotting and bleeding, nope! Sent me for tests and an ultrasound- but appointment stayed the same! Last time around they saw me at 5w 5d
  • My first appointment will be 7weeks and 2 days. I think my next appointment will be a month after, I wish they would see me just a week or two after so they can at least hear the heartbeat. My practice only does one ultrasound around 20 weeks, which I hate but love the midwives!
  • Tomorrow when I'm 7 weeks! My doctor wanted to see me for the first time at 6-7 weeks, I went with 7 so there's a better chance of hearing the heartbeat. I'm a nervous wreck though.
  • Dating ultrasound today! I'm 6w1d. They usually see people 7-8 weeks but with my lmp I can get in now even though I didn't ovulate till the 21st of July b/c of PCOS.

  • 8/31 which is 8 weeks (I actually think I'll be 7 though by I charted O a week late)

    DD#1 born 3/28/16







  • My first appt is 9/9 and I'll be 8w3d. So hard to wait that long!! We have our dating ultrasound first then meeting with the midwife who delivered our DD. She's on-call that day so keeping fingers crossed that no babies born until after our appt :)
  • 7 weeks at 8/31. Hour long appt. First 30 with the nurse updating my history and teaching. 30 with my OB and will include a dating US.

    My OB has delivered my first 2. I really love her. Hopefully this pregnancy go's as uncomplicated as my first 2...

  • 10-12 weeks is when I was told to make it unless I have concerns. This is my third so I think the MWs are open to waiting.

  • I already had a confirmation appointment at 4 weeks, but it lasted about 5 minutes because it was just to pee in a cup and set everything else up. My first real appointment is next Friday and I'll be just over 9 weeks. I can't wait - I just want to see that heartbeat so that I can feel actually excited.
