When was your first appointment?

[hillarywhitney]

When did you have your first appointment? Did they do an ultrasound? 

[smock]

6 weeks but it was just getting a bunch of paperwork from the OB nurse, plus weight, urine sample, and some blood tests.

First ultrasound was at 7.5 weeks, which was also my first appt with my doctor.

[chickadee77]

Mine typically does 7-9 weeks. I went in a bit earlier for bloodwork this time, though, because I had some substantial bleeding early on, but that is not SOP for my OB. Initial pregnancy and u/s appointment was around 7.5 weeks.

I had a "pregnancy confirmation" appointment at 4w5d, shortly after my BFP. They just did a pee test, drew blood, and gave me a bunch of materials.

Then an ultrasound at 6w4d and first "real" appointment at 7w. (These would have been on the same day if scheduling had permitted)

Next appointment is going to be at 11w4d. I will have another ultrasound since we decided to do the NT scan & then see the OB.

My first appointment was 5 weeks but just bloodwork. At 6.5 weeks they did an ultrasound and we saw a heartbeat.

Paperwork, bloodwork, intake (family history, etc.), do's/don'ts with the nurse around 5 weeks, first appointment with the doctor, including ultrasound, around 7 weeks.

5 weeks I think. My first ultrasound was at 6 weeks because of my diabetes.

[AlpineSlide]

8 weeks with an ultrasound and blood was taken, family history was also taken. DH went with me because some questions pertained to his side of the family. They also gave me a packet with loads of info at that appt.

8 weeks this time, 10 weeks for my other pregnancies.

7 weeks.  I don't know if they'd normally have seen me that early, except that I'd had two miscarriages in the last year and a half.  We had an ultrasound and saw the heartbeat.

I've had appointments at 9 weeks (due to spotting), 10 weeks and 12.5 weeks and had ultrasounds every time.  The last one was only an ultrasound because the midwife couldn't pick up the heartbeat on doppler, due to the baby jumping around so much.  I don't expect to have another u/s til 20 weeks.

9.5 weeks - we say the bean dancing!

[speyedr]

First appt was at 6 weeks with a nurse to give family history, get info on labs and such and go have labs drawn.

First appt with my doctor was at 8 weeks and had my first u/s at this time.

[redpenmama]

8 weeks on the dot, internal u/s

[andthentherewere10]

6 weeks because I BEGGED - normally they do 1st appts at 8 weeks. I had an u/s at both 6 and 8 weeks.

[mrsnole]

8 weeks and yes they did an ultrasound.

[hillarywhitney]

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm waiting for the dr.s office to call me back now. Hoping I will be seen before Christmas.

[catsarecute]

Mine was at 6 weeks. They did a transvaginal ultrasound at the appointment. At every appointment since, my doctor has listened to the heartbeat with a doppler.

[humpforfree]

6 weeks- it was just a confirmation/get info session but they sent me to get an ultrasound due to spotting.

[hillarywhitney]

I have an appointment! Yay! December 3rd

[eav2c]

4 weeks and had a quick u/s (saw nothing). At my new OB's office I think the first appointment and u/s are around 6-8 weeks.

[bowies]

I don't think I was even 4 weeks yet - it was completely accidental. I had an info session scheduled with MFM because my OB knew we were TTC and I got my BFP the night before. He said I was his earliest appt ever. Lol. All he did was take my blood to confirm.

My first regular appointment with my OB was in the 5th week. I am not a typical patient since I have to be on some meds during pregnancy - I get monitored a lot. He did an internal at that time. My next appt is Thursday - I'll be just over the 7 week mark and will have my first u/s.

[mannah]

Hi. I had my first appointment at 9 weeks. I got my bfp around 4 weeks and it was a long wait! My midwife doesn't do an ultrasound (unless there's an indication of a problem) until the 20 week-ish mark. Aaaaaand the wait goes on I'm looking forward to Monday however when we will get to hear the heartbeat via Doppler.

I was seen at 6 weeks, but I had the appointment with the OB to start infertility testing. But I found out before the appointment that I was pregnant so my PCP said to keep the appointment and see what the OB says. The OB did do an ultrasound at both 6 and 8 weeks to make sure that the pregnancy was viable, I have MC in the past. I then got switched to a different OB, and I saw her for the first time yesterday at 12 weeks.

She said that she normally sees patients at 8-10 weeks for the first time. My appointment yesterday through her off a little bit because I was further along then she is used to on the first appointment. She forgot to bring the doppler into the room so we could hear the heartbeat, but I asked and she was so glad that I did.
