Need advice regarding doctor!

Hey all, I just found out I am pregnant. I tested positive Friday, Saturday and Monday lol. I have a gynecologist but she isn't an ob. So I called my insurance and they provided me with a number of an ob practice close to my home. I have a son who is 9 and a half, so I am out of the loop lol. When I called the ob, they did the typical questions. My EDD according to my period is August 11, 2016 so I am 4 weeks and 6 days. Well the receptionist said they are booked until January 22, but they will want to see me sonner. Since I am a new pregnancy/patient, she sent a note to the doctors. I haven't heard anything back yet. I am not sure if I should panic, find another ob, call back, or wait. Like I said my son is 9 and a half so I don't remember alot, but I knew when I first found out with him, they made me an appointment on that call within within 2 weeks. Please help

    I recently moved an hour and a half away from my previous OB/GYN practice that I loved. So I had to find a new OB in my area. I took some recommendations from acquaintances and called on Monday, I'm 5 weeks today. They scheduled me for Jan 5th for an US, which will be just shy of my 9 week date. I would look around and see who is near you that has good reviews. Also, if you plan on delivering in a hospital, you may want to choose the hospital first, then find OBs that are associated with it so you know you'll be delivering where you want to. I would definitely say if they don't call back, look elsewhere. I'm sure you'll want to be seen before your almost 11 weeks. Good luck!

    Keep hounding them!

    And if they can't give you one sooner, find another one.

    Does your current gynecologist have a partner in his/her practice that does obstetrics as well?

    ^^ This.  I would call your Gyno and ask her for recommendations.  You can't be the first person in her practice to need an OB.  I would definitely want personal recs, not just whatever the insurance said.

    I called my OB on a Thursday, sent an email on Friday, called again on Monday and finally got an appointment set Tues--but it's not til Jan 6. My OB doesn't see people til 9-12 weeks. So, I wouldn't freak out too much yet
