Hi ladies! Curious about when everyone's first OB appointment is scheduled. I just scheduled mine with a new practice since the one that delivered DS is an hour drive after we moved last summer. They won't see me until 7 weeks, which seems late - especially with a high risk pregnancy.
Re: When is your first appt?
My last BMB came to the conclusion that unless you are an IVF/IUI/ RE patient that can't do anything until 8 weeks. At that point they can do a dating US, get you on a prescription prenatal (if needed), and start to help if you have HG.

TBH the early US can sometimes cause more anxiety than anything. Part of me doesn't really want an US this week. I know when I ovulated so at least I have that in my favor for them to assess the progress, but if your dating is off (ie you weren't tracking & confirmed O with temping) it can cause you A LOT of, most likely, unnecessary stress an anxiety.

BTW - I grew up in your area! Live down south now, but some days I really miss 'home'.
This time I called and they're bringing me in for bloodwork on Friday. I'll be 4 weeks 6 days and from there we'll decide when to do an u/s. I'm not really that picky. As eager as I was last time, I don't want it to be in a period of limbo when there might be a heartbeat or there might not. I'm thinking that maybe they'll go ahead and do it at 7 weeks if they need to do a UA then. I'll pretty much leave it up to them. At this point, I can pretty much go in only one day out of the week and it's more important to me to be able to have DH there than whether it's 7 weeks or 10 weeks or anywhere in there.
ETA: first ultrasound is 4/18 at 7 weeks 2 days. They wanted to see me on 4/15 but MH wouldn't have been able to make it.

So different in Canada! I hadn't heard of an RE until the bump... we definitely have OBGYN's and family docs. So I booked an appt with my family doc this Thursday to confirm pregnancy with bloodwork, and then I booked an apt with my OBGYN of choice for May 25th (I really wanted a certain doc and she is full until then) so I'll only see my OBGYN at 13 weeks but until then I just see my regular family doc who happens to be a gynecologist/pediatrician anyway. I have no idea what the process is! Very exciting either way.

This is my first pregnancy, so all of this is new, exciting, and a little scary. I love that my PCP's office knew that and made it as stress-free and happy as possible!
