So I am 3w4d today and my OBGYN called me this morning and said my blood test from 2 days ago is positive and it looks like I'm 3 weeks along, duh! He wanted to see me in 3 weeks, on Sept 17. I will be 6w1d. What should I expect at this appointment? So nervous.

I've been taking poas tests every morning since Tuesday and they keep getting darker. That's a good sign. But I still worry. =/

Congrats! If your in the US you can expect lots of medical health questions and a ultrasound. They will look for the gestional sac, yok and babie w/ HB. It will be loud and fast. When I first heard mine it reminded me of a panting dog :haha: Then they will schedule you for your next apt about 4-6 week out!

At least thats how mine went at U of M in MI. Hope that helps!:thumbup:

I woke up today with af like cramps - just like I usually get right before af arrives. Im hoping thats ok! is that normal? Ive had very slight cramping the last few days but this morning was a little more painful. I got up to use the bathroom and felt cramps so i went right back to bed. They feel fine right now but I was a little spooked bc ive heard cramps are normal but just slight cramps.
Anyone else experience this? Im scared!

my first scan is on sept. 18th...i'll be 7w2d, hoping to see the heartbeat!

question for you ladies - do any of you feel "not pregnant"? i am only 4w4d, and really, no big symptoms. i reached for a beer last night while my husband and i were watching tv, and he had to say, "what are you doing??"
a little achey in my abdomen, slightly sore breasts, that's it!
i know i am pregnant, but i don't think i feel pregnant at all!

i will be happy with a girl or boy, but i secretly want a little boy first :)

I first scan is that day as well! Although I'll only be 6w3d.:happydance:
I have sore boobs, sore back, constipated, cramps thirsty, headache, and pulling sensations in my belly. I don't "feel pregnant" but I definitely always have it on my mind :)

I have called up my doctor, asking to get a blood test done before the 18th since I've lost 2 little ones. Just wanting to know if I should get my hopes up or not on this one. Still waiting to hear back....:coffee:
 
Hi..just found out today that we are expecting..due May 1st!!!:happydance:

JulieAnn, so jealous tht you got a scan so soon! I'm in Dearborn (just outside of Detroit) and my OB's office only does one scan, around 18-20 weeks, unless there's a medical need otherwise, or unless you pay out of pocket. I had a missed m/c before so hopefully I can at least have them do the doppler to check for heartbeat earlier. My first appt is 6w1d, which is just meeting with the medical assistant to review med history, get a script for prenatals, and questions. Second appt is almost 8 wks which is w/ the doc and includes a pelvic exam. Maybe I can ask about the doppler then. (fingers crossed!) I did hear from a friend who also had a m/c before she had her son that this practice was pretty sympathetic to her fears so I hope to have the same experience.
 
Oh, and you ladies are killing me with the adorable car seats, lol. It's so hard not to get ahead of myself!

Yea, I guess I am lucky. Thats how it was with my last pregnancy anyway. I m/c at 17 weeks, so Im expecting at least the same routine this time too. I would be shocked if they didnt do a doppler screen at your 8 week scan. The 6 week apt. may be too soon to pick up a HB on doppler. At UofM they give you scan at your first apt. for the reasons I stated above. Then you get another scan between 18 & 20 weeks to determin sex. Then you get a final scan a few weeks before delivery.
 
Thanks for the comments on cramps ladies - I def feel better about it now. Its not that severe and there is no bleeding...so im going to relax about it. It is funny how we look for symptoms and then when we hve them we freak out :). Im not seeing my ob for another two weeks...cant wait for a first ultrasound!!
That car seat is adorable - Ive been looking at such cute baby stuff online - clothes an all!!
Im def going to find out if its a boy or girl as soon as I can. Anyone waiting thw whole 9 months to be surpised if its boy or girl?? I just dont think i can wait that long - and I want to buy cute outfits lol.

DB wants to go to every appointment I have, so he'll be there. If I go in today to get my blood drawn, that will be the only one he misses(which he isn't happy about) since he's at work and it isn't even an appointment
 
I am not bringing mine to this one I have on tuesday, because he will be gone hunting. But I plan to bring him to the next one, or at least any that I have scans for.
