  • Yeah I wasn't seen till around 8 weeks that's how my doc clinic works. They said before then they can't detect the baby yet and I already confirmed at my family doc I was pregnant. Congrats!
  • Thank you =]
  • Lol! Really? You guys are lucky! I'm not having my first appointment and u/s till I'm 11 weeks! I'm currently in my 9th week. Almost on my tenth in 2 days. I didn't go make an appointment till I was 8 weeeks exactly
  • Mine wont see me until 10-12 wks [-(
  • I saw mine the day after my hpt was positive...full exam...day after that had an u/s to determine how far along I was...go back at just barely 10 weeks...
  • Isn't it crazy to be seen so late?! I mean if you need to be put on progesterone to decrease your chance of miscarriage, thats not available to you.. And what if you need more iron intake? Lol they wont know till you reached your 2nd trimester. If we even reach that point /:
  • I have to wait til 8 weeks too :(.....I wonder if they will do an ultrasound then? I have kaiser!
  • I think its crazy n kinda makes me mad, i had my u/s almost a mo ago but won't actually see my doc til Tuesday when I'm 12 wks
  • My first appointment and ultrasound is on thursday. Ill be in my 12th week. It's crazy to me that I couldnt be seen until the very beginning of my 2nd trimester. So this whole time I've been worried and hoping the ultrasound shows everything is ok.
  • I was seen on my 6th week goin on 7 I go again the 29 then my first ultrasound on the 30 ill b 11 weeks by then im 8 weeks n 3 days
  • Oh my goodness! Yess I worry so much the ultrasound shows a happy healthy baby with a heart beat!! So much.. Ugh. Gotta wait till I'm 11 weeks /:
  • Weird. With my first I had a full exam n US n I was 7 wks n s few days. With this one I was 6 wks 3 days wn it was confirmed. My ultrasound is Monday n i will b 10 wks n 6 days.
  • I wasn't seen till 10 to 11 weeks.
  • My doc doesnt wanna c me till 9wks which nakes me nervous cuz I had a mc prior at 10wks....i wanna make sure everything is as it should b..this waiting is the worst! The 5th cant come fast enuf :/
  • If you want to get ultrasounds early you can go to pregnancy care centers where they do it for free. I have one for my 7th week.
  • Count yourselves.lucky girls! I'm what I think is 13 weeks today. Had bloodshed bit not exam or us. Have my first on the 24 th march so I could be almost 15 weeks by this time. I'm from the UK and first scans are usually given between 10-14 weeks.
  • ssorry..other bloodshed. bloods taken :)
  • I'm also waiting for my first doctors appoment they won't see me until I'm 8 weeks makes me worry more. I'm 5 weeks and 2 days time is just not going by fast enough :/
  • Same here. My doc confirmed that I was preggers at 5wks then I had to come bk when I was 8wks first u/s in a week ill b 12wks
  • 8-12 weeks is pretty standard unless you don't know how far along you are.
  • I had my first doc appt & a sonogram at 5wks, 2days after I got a positive.
  • Yes most doctors themselves say they don't need to see u until 8-10 weeks. However most places still bring u in after hpt for an ob appt w/a nurse. U Fill out paperwork, do a blood test, put u on prenatals, ask about other meds etc especially if it's your first. I would highly recommend going in right away if u need to confirm the pregnancy w/a blood test or have other questions.
