2nd pregnancy...doctor won't do ultrasound yet?

I just called to make my 1st appointment to confirm my pregnancy. I'm 8 weeks as of now. But my appointment is Feb 1st. They said they are just gonna do a pap test? Why? I wanna know this baby is healthy and strong!

I am 9 weeks 1 day. I have my first appt on thursday. Doctor scheduled ultrasound before my appt. Each doctor is different on when they order ultrasounds

If your sure on your dates then there isn't a need for a dating ultrasound.

it might depend on your insurance, most insurance companies wont pay for a test without documentation from a doctor first.

I'm sure your doctor will schedule an ultrasound at your first appointment.
