Am I the only person who hasn't been to the doctor yet? I called the OB when I got my BFP and they scheduled my 3 initial appointments (u/s, bloodwork, pap) for 8 weeks. I'm feeling like that's not so normal after reading yalls posts?
It is completely normal to not see a doctor until 8-10 weeks unless you have recurring losses or other health problems. I have had 2 losses and still won't see my OB until 8 weeks, but that was kind of my choice too.

@tjgarre2 My first appt isn't until Dec. 1st when I'll be 8 weeks - my understanding is that it's standard, although I agree the wait feels brutal FYI: there was a thread on this last week ("First Appointment", Nov. 2nd) in which many of us posted our first appt. info - check it out if you want more data

I haven't even called my midwife yet. I didn't go in with my first til 11 weeks (which will be the week before Christmas this time). I'll probably do the same thing this time and no u/s til the anatomy scan unless my husband wants an elective to find out the sex early. Which he's leaning towards ATM.

8 weeks for me too. That's pretty standard unless you're high risk or have other factors that need early attention. My first appt is 11/18 and I probably won't have an ultrasound until at least 12 weeks
Mine isn't until I'm almost 10 weeks (so 12/12) with my OB, but all my testing and my ultrasound is being/will be done by my RE/fertility office.

@mrs35How far along will you be then? I guess my 11/21 appointment doesn't seem as far away as your 12/5
My OB office does the nurse check at 8 weeks. Then I see the doctor at 11. At the 11 week appointment they try to find the heartbeat. Still no u/s. I'm pretty sure they only do 20 weeks ultrasounds. They are the only decent OB within about 100 miles though so I don't really have a choice.
Eta: I have had a loss. But unless something happens that is concerning they aren't worried.
My appointment is scheduled for 12/5 and I will be 8w3d and I have had a previous loss. IT FEELS SO FAR AWAY!! Not at all abnormal for you not to be seen until 8-10 weeks
My practice is usually between 8-10 weeks,but because of the spotting my doctor wanted to see me much earlier. I didn't want to go earlier because of the cost of a scan then and then also an 8 week heartbeat scan so...mine is a week from now I'll be 6+6

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
My first appointment is Dec 6 at 8 weeks and this is my second pregnancy. The first was the same, first visit at 8 weeks. Its hard to wait and the anticipation is driving me nuts lol
My first appt is the 7th. I'll be 8w3d. Like everybody else said, 8weeks is the norm for 1st appt unless high risk or other issues. I'm hating to wait though. I just keep telling myself next week is thanksgiving and that's why i couldn't get an earlier appt lol
My first OB appointment and u/s are 12/12 - I'll be 9+1 at that point. I've had bloodwork but I just walk into the lab in my doctor's office or downstairs at the hospital it's connected to and don't even need an appointment to do that - they just need to have orders of what they're testing for. Not sure how other's bloodwork is done.
My first appointment is 11/28 and that's just meeting with an MA and doing a urine pregnancy test. Then they'll schedule me at 9ish weeks for an u/s. Seems like forever away! I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter feeling like it was so far away as well.
Re: First appointment
Highly monitored internet and no cell service in the office, so I'm postin' and ghostin' while I'm workin'
