First ob appt. was too quick...

I rejoice in the fact that I have a positive pregnancy.  It's a great feeling!  If only I went to Sam's Club the day I found out I could have gotten my free membership.  :)  

Thought I would share my story.  I have a four year old boy.  He's amazing.  Such a sweet boy.  November 15, 2012 I had a miscarriage.  It was rough.  March 7, 2013 I had a chemical pregnancy.  January 8, 2014 I delivered a healthy, beautiful baby girl.  She is a spunky ball of fire.  Makes life fun.  

I am five weeks pregnant.  I just stopped breastfeeding in July and went straight to birth control.  I haven't gotten a period so I had no clue how far along I was when I went to the doctor.  Thought maybe I was 12 weeks.  Nope, sono didn't even show a baby so I was much earlier than thought.  Based on date of conception, I know exactly how far along I am now.  It's frustrating that I have to wait so long for my next ultrasound.  But I want to be sure we can see the healthy, beautifulish baby on the sonogram.  

I found it strange though, at my first appointment with this new obgyn, she didn't take blood, urine, or ask any questions.  Sono and done.  See you in 3-4 weeks.  That's not normal right?

    My first appointment I will be (according to last period) a little over 10 weeks! They asked me when my last period was when I called to schedule and said I would have to wait until then. This is my first pregnancy though so I am not sure what is "normal"

    Because you are so early, it sounds like it could be okay/normal. Are they checking you at 8 weeks then? If that don't, then I might be concerned, but otherwise, they probably figure it's too early.

    Yes it sounds pretty normal since you are not very far along in the pregnancy. For my first pregnancy I went in at 5 weeks because I was spotting and the doc didn't do much but do a quick ultrasound and draw blood to see if i was RH negative. Later at my regular 8 week apt the doc talked to me more, ordered lab work, answered questions, and preformed another ultrasound to check on baby.

    I only see a nurse at 8 weeks, and they do a blood sample to confirm pregnancy.  I don't see my OB until 12 weeks.

    Last pregnancy, I met the nurse and had lab work done at 6 weeks and then I saw the doc and had an u/s at 8 weeks.
    This pregnancy I had an early u/s at 6 w due to spotting and will see the nurse/blood work at 7 weeks. Next u/s is at 8w5d. I think it all depends on your history, if it's your first pregnancy and/or low risk they don't see you until the baby is big enough 8-10 weeks so that you can see and hear heartbeat.
    Early u/s are just nerve wrecking!
