I'm changing OBs, or possibly to a midwife because we moved, and haven't picked one out yet. I can't wait to make my first appt even though I know it will still be a few weeks away! I don't remember being this anxious about getting to my first appointment with my DS.
I go to a collaborative practice with midwives and obs. It was awesome last time. Even though I developed preeclampsia and had to be induced, I got to stay with my midwives the whole time. Thr physicians ordered all the meds "off stage" and I still delivered with the midwives I'd grown to know and trust. I highly recommend similar models!
Gaaahhhh my doctors office just called me and moved my appointment back a week! It was supposed to be next Thursday but now the doctor is unexpectedly going to be out of town. It's probably for the best since I'll be farther along and will be able to see more, but I just want the reassurance that something is in there
Me too!! I have been going crazy. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy bc I keep taking pregnancy tests. I told him I'm sorry but until I see/hear that heart beat I'm gonna keep taking them. I am 7wks and still have another 2wks until my appointment. Its cruel and unusual punishment to make us wait like this. And the weeks go by so slowly.
Join the POAS club. I'm still doing it daily (maybe multiple times per day). I promised myself (and DH) that I would stop when I got a 3+ on the CBWE, which I got today. Not sure if I'm going to be able to keep that promise....
I'm in this club. 5+1 today and finally got a FRER where the test line was significantly darker than the control line. A little nervous, I feel like that happened sooner with my last pregnancy.
Anxiously awaiting my appt on Aug 4, when I'll be 7 weeks. So glad they're doing an ultrasound! I'm scheduled to drive home for my sister's baby shower the following day, so if things look good on the ultrasound, we might tell family in person over the weekend.
@schumerator I completely understand how you feel! I don't have an appointment until August 16th, when I'll be approximately 9 1/2 to 10 weeks (and I had to fight to get scheduled that early). Given the fact that I wasn't 100% on my LMP and O dates this time, they didn't want to schedule an US "too early" -which I understand, but I just need to know SOMETHING is in there. I each day that passes feels like a week.... I'm getting impatient.
My first appointment is September 8, so not until 12.5 weeks. I scheduled it then on purpose though, I don't feel a need to go in sooner. That way they should be able to get the heartbeat at the first appointment and get all my bloodwork done at the same time.
Had a confirmation of pregnancy test on July 19th. Now have to wait for my ultrasound until August 16th! I'm going nuts! Glad to know I'm not the only one!
I don't know about anyone else, but when I scheduled my appointment(for August 10th ugh so far!!) I asked if I could come in early for the blood work to confirm the pregnancy. I just went to the laboratory part of the office, in and out in 5 minutes and results via phone within 24 hours. I still have to wait for an u/s to hear a heartbeat, but I feel better knowing that were able to confirm for me.
First appointment will be Aug 17th, it is killing me!!! I told my husband that he should go grab the ultrasound machine they use on cattle on the ranch he works at (had laughing emojis, then the app posted without the rest of my post... Stupid).
I know it is best to wait, but holy hell this wait is driving me nuts!
Waiting, waiting, waiting!! My first appointment is 8/2 and I'll be 7+1. My OB will do an ultr sound then. I can't wait!! Still I won't tell anyone until 12 weeks. We had a strong heartbeat with our angel baby at 8 weeks and lost it at 10 weeks so I think I'll hold out as long as possible. We are hosting a BBQ on Labor Day weekend so right now that is when we'll announce.
but I did get my shirt for DD announcing the big news in the mail this weekend
I'm right there with you going crazy. My appointment is 8/9. With DS, I didn't get an u/s until the a/s at 20w. I've since switched OBs and my new one does a dating scan. I'm still very anxious. I'm having huge amounts of *tmi alert* discharge and it's basically causing to run to the bathroom every 10 minutes to make sure that's all it is. It's almost identical to that leaking/flowing feeling I get with AF. The early pregnancy mind games are no bueno.
I'm having the same thing! Apparently this is normal but it still freaks me out!

My intake appointment isn't until this Friday. Only then will I be able to make my ultrasound appointment. So for right now every cramp, discharge and symptom has me running to Dr. Google to make sure everything's ok. I'm a mess.
My first appointment isn't until 8/9, when i will be 7w6d. But, they've already warned me that it'll be "mostly informational". I won't rest until I hear that little heartbeat.
My first appt is tomorrow! I scheduled it about 3-4 weeks ago and the wait has been awful. I'm roughly 8 weeks, but I think I ovulated late so I could be a little behind. Either way I should be able to hear a heartbeat. I POAS a couple days ago and the line was still nice and dark so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
My first appointment with a nurse isn't until Aug 15. I will be ten weeks. Hoping to get in two weeks later with my OB to hear the heartbeat. Pretty sure I won't have an ultrasound until 20 weeks.
my first scan is this friday at 9:30 in the morning, at my RE's office. i'll be 6w5d at that point. I CAN'T WAIT. i'm so anxious and i'm sure i'll be a nervous wreck the morning of. hoping we'll see a heartbeat.

I'll be 9 weeks the day of my U/S so hopefully we can hear the heartbeat and get a clear view of baby!
