Totally normal. This is my 4th and everytime ive gone in no earlier than 8-10 weeks for initial appt. My first appt is scheduled for March 9th and ill be 8 weeks.
I've got an appointment with the midwife at 8 weeks and got told would get proper due date and first scan at twelve weeks. Currently six weeks.
Yep. I'm waiting until 7 to 8 weeks
Mainly because you can hear a heart beat
I'm 5 weeks and my doctor set me up for an appointment when I get to 10 weeks. I thought it was weird up until now.

Usually they want to do an ultrasound between 7 and 10 weeks to measure for dates. That's when it's most effective. They might also want to do some blood work. It's not unusual to wait that long!
I made an appointment as soon as I found out and they confirmed my pregnancy at 5wks 3days. I have another appointment at 7wks 3days. I asked for an earlier appointment because of my previous loss. If you're really worried I'd ask the doctor.
I will b 6 weeks tomorrow. When I went to the Dr all they did was verify my pregnancy. Go back at 8 weeks for appt
Thankyou all...as im first time mum. ..n the bloatness does not help. ..:(
They prob just don't have an opening until that time which if you haven't miscarried it's fine to wait. You can have a vaginal ultrasound by 4 weeks and by 6/7 weeks you can hear the heartbeat . Due date can be caluculated by the measurement of the baby which can be done by 6 weeks I believe . This is my second baby . 1 in heaven and hoping for 1 to raise here on earth <3
I thought it was odd too but, yes it sounds right. Depending on your gyn we aren't seen until 7-12 weeks. I have an 8 week appt but, 10 week is when we hear heartbeat and to my understanding is when estimated due date is determined (8th week appointment is paperwork/blood work). Those that are seen early have had complications with past pregnancies or get IUIs etc done....
