I noticed that no one had claimed the weekly appointments thread, so I hope it's ok if I start it. @Xstatic3333, want to throw me on the list for handling this one?
I'll admit that I selfishly wanted to start the thread this week, because I have my first prenatal appointment and ultrasound on Thursday!!
Anyone else? Appointments, ultrasounds, tests, etc. this week?

Sadly it's too late to edit the intro post, but it's all yours! Thanks for starting it. Good call as we'll all be having more appointments soon.
First appointment is Wednesday and I'm freaking stoked. I'll be 9+3, so I feel it's loooong overdue. I'll have an ultrasound, which I'm so excited to see.
2nd appointment (first with this Dr.) tomorrow, which is also my 5th wedding anniversary. I have some serious anxiety that my anniversaries will all be ruined if it goes badly. Irrational, but I can't help it right now. Eeeeek!
I have my first appointment Wednesday. Unfortunately it's just the intake and initial lab work not an US but it's when I'll get to schedule my US so hopefully that will help me relax a little bit knowing that is coming. It will be good to get my doctors packet of info on what I should/shouldn't be doing.

I have an ultrasound with my RE today! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it goes well!

Have my second ultrasound Friday, though the first ultrasound was done in my OBs office with a machine thats probably older then I am, so it's not a clear picture, also he only does external, but I got to see my LO which was exciting. I am so excited for the fancy ultrasound on Friday!
This OB doesn't do in-office ultrasound, so I had my ultrasound on Friday and get to see the OB this afternoon. We'll see if I like them better than the other office.
My 1st appointment is Thursday afternoon! Not sure if we will be having an ultrasound yet. I will be meeting the nurse midwife for the 1st time (because my OB at the same practice, no longer delivers babies). Excited but also very nervous! I believe I am just 6 weeks yesterday or today!
First US and full OB appointment is tomorrow afternoon... just over 24 hours and I'm so nervous I can barely stand myself. I have never had a good ultrasound, so I just have no good feelings about that part. I keep thinking, body, you just have to keep it together until the ultrasound.
I'll have my first appointment and US Friday morning. So excited! I feel like I've had it scheduled forever and its finally almost here! I will be 8w3d.
I had my first appointment and US this morning! It went very well and baby is healthy and has a strong HB. I found out I'm a week further along than I originally thought, so that puts my O date and everything else into "I have no clue". So happy to have seen everything today. The weight off my shoulders and anxiety relief is so amazing. It's starting to feel so real!
Me too on the first US and MW appt Friday!! Had some spotting a couple weeks ago, I never had any spotting with DD so I'm very anxious to see what's actually happening in there!
2nd appointment (first with this Dr.) tomorrow, which is also my 5th wedding anniversary. I have some serious anxiety that my anniversaries will all be ruined if it goes badly. Irrational, but I can't help it right now. Eeeeek!
@MrsLittleMac I had my first appointment last Wednesday on our 4 year wedding anniversary and I felt the same way! But after we saw everything was good it made for a great day!
I just got home from my first appointment. Looks like I'm tracking exactly where I should be (6w1d) and the heartbeat looked good. Such a relief.

And my Dr is super nice and scheduled me for 8-week ultrasound. Last time I had a MMC late in week 6, so this is purely peace of mind to make sure everything is going well and I don't have to wait until week 10 to ensure everything is ok.
** December BMB Siggy Challenge - Animals in Pools **
Me: 31+ H: 32 TTC Since 11/2015 #1 - MMC 6.5 weeks (2/16); #2 - MC due to cystic hygroma at 20 weeks (10/16); #3 CP (2/17); #4 - Due 12.16.17
I have my next appt. with my RE on Thursday. Last Monday we had an u/s to ensure it wasn't ectopic (saw sac and yolk right where they needed to be). I'm feeling so anxious about this week's u/s and seeing the hb. I feel like I live in a constant state of dread, which I know isn't unusual after a mc but I'm really tired of it. I'm ready to enjoy this pregnancy already!
I have my first (dating) US on Friday, at 7w5d. This is much earlier than my previous two pregnancies, when I was had my dating US between 9 and 10 weeks. Perhaps it is because I am AMA this time around, and therefore will likely get a 12 week ultrasound...? Anyway, since I have never really experienced any first trimester symptoms with any of my pregnancies (this time included), it is always nerve-wracking going into the first US. Hopefully my mind will be put somewhat to rest after Friday's appointment.
I have my first t/v ultrasound on Friday! Trying to keep the nerves under control since my last pregnancy was deemed ectopic at this appointment last year...
I have my 1st trimester blood tests and genetic screening on Friday. I'm excited because I'll get to find out the sex of the fetus. I'm looking forward to that.
First appointment tomorrow (7/6) at 7w, 0d. Very nervous about it... I had some light pink spotting last week, and then red CM twice on Monday night (enough to cover the TP pretty handily but not appear on pad). I didn't have any spotting at all with my first.
Question for everyone (I asked this on my ticker change thread today but I don't think anyone has seen it). I have my first appointment next week. I was told to expect a pap, medical history, and an ultrasound. They said my husband is welcome to come, but I'm wondering if I should just have him wait until my 12 week ultrasound. The appointment is for about 45 minutes. Husband doesn't care if he goes or not. Is it worth bringing him with me or will he just be bored out of his mind?
@CherryBananas My DH is coming with me! He won't be any more bored than I am, sitting in the waiting room and so on.
ETA: It is worth noting also, that for me, he has to come because I'm extremely nervous. If I wasn't scared of getting bad news alone I might feel differently, but for us that's non-optional.

I feel like I can relax a bit once I see a healthy HB.
