Help Confused

[bump]

I just found out I was 5 weeks pregnant on Saturday. I went to the doctors on Monday and he just said i wont do another test on you as you have already done 2 clear Blue ones and your next step is to see the midwife for her to check your bloods. I booked in with the midwife 4 march. i was told you normally get your first app between week 10 to 14 I will be 11 weeks then..

Just seems like a long time to go and see anyone just wondered when you peeps had your first check ups :dohh. Sorry just panicking a little

Luckily my gp managed to get me a same day appointment at our local ante-natal clinic. Think it was more so cause I didnt know how far on I was.

Hi
This really bugged me too, but its right they didnt want to see me till 10 weeks either.

It does seem a really long time, i hope it flys by for you.

Although I did go in to see my doctor at 4 weeks, when I first found out I was pregnant they really didn't do much of anything, just advised me on the what to dos and what not to dos. They did send me for bloodwork at that time but I didn't get the results until I went in again at 10 weeks and at the 10 week appointment she did a physical on me and referred me to an OB. I didn't go in until 13 weeks. I don't think there is much that they can do that early in pregnancy, but now that I'm further along they want to see me once a month.

I saw GP at 5 and half weeks then I had first scan 13 and half weeks then i saw midwife 14 weeks then I had my second scan at 22 weeks so i had 8 weeks to wait to see anyone and I was going insane that I bought myself a doppler to hear babies heart beat best thing ive even bought as i couldnt feel baby so it put my mind at rest hearing heart beat everynight

i had my first midwife appoinment at roughly 10 weeks then had my scan at 11 weeks 4 days but they put me back 3 days so really i had my scan at 11 weeks 1 day.
i now have to wait to see midwife on 15th feb and ive got the nurse on 18th feb for my triple tests.

I didn't see the doc until 10 weeks either, I thought it seemed like a long time, but it goes by quickly. I understand where you are coming from though, you are so built up with excitement and ready to know what's going on with the baby and everything.

By the way bump, I love the pictures of the dogs on your profile, they are soo cute. (Sorry, I'm an animal lover).

i saw the doc at 5 weeks just to confirm he told me it was very early and not to come back for two months. in the mean time he sent me for a dating scan at 8 weeks. i actually didnt end up seeing a doc til 13 weeks.

I had my booking appointment at 8weeks but alot of people see their mw at 10weeks

hi i had my first appointment at 13 weeks. it was awful i had to wait not knowing that everything was going well in there. after that i didnt see midwife till i was 18 weeks then i didnt see her again until i was 27 weeks it was crap. was just they had a shortage. but they leave you till 12 weeks for appointment because your chances of anything going wrong drop around this time. dont worry your self though im sure youll be ok. im due in march and its not taking its time to get there

Congrats on your pg

Im sorry to hear that you have to wait so long before you see your mw I think it is down to the area where you live and how busy they are. My gp told me i would probably not see the mw until i was 8-10 wks but i actually saw her yesterday at 7wks 3d.

I know its frustrating but hand in there, trust me it will fly by. Felt like it was only yesterday that i got my BFP at 4wks 2days.

Hope you have a h&h 9 months.

Because I had early bleeding the hospital booked me in for my 12 weeks scan when I had my scan a couple of weeks ago. I won't book in with the midwife till after then although I'm suprised at how patient I'm being....... *saying that whilst seriously thinking of another private scan *

Thanks cparks1 im an animal lover 2 and they are both real cuties I jave to say .

i went to Doc's at 6wks 4 days, he said he couldn't do alot and to see midwife.

He gave me a number which i phoned and made an appointment for the 6th Feb, i'll be 8 wks 4 days by then... feels like forever away so you must be itching for the time to pass, but when i think that i found out a week ago now... time really does fly, especially when your having fun and these really are the best days of our lives!!!
