Re: HI---I'm New to the Boards
Believe me--I would go right now, but they wouldn't give me an earlier appt...something about wanting me to be further along so they can see more on the sonogram... I don't know-- is that not the normal thing? Should I be looking for another doctor?
As for prenatal vitamins, they said I wouldn't start them until about 8-10 weeks...until then my normal vitamins would be fine.
What has everyone else experienced?

Re: HI---I'm New to the Boards
I took a home preg. test on a sat and got into that doctor that tues. and it was a new ob/gyn. The first apt. they took a preg. test confirmed the preg. and then started my vitamins. I found out i was preg. pretty early. I dont really know if there are any rules, but i would think you want the mommy to start the vitamins as soon as possible.

Re: HI---I'm New to the Boards
Congrats and welcome to the board! Don't worry about your vitamins or the appointment. You're actually lucky to get an appointment that fast. A lot of girls on here have to wait until 8 weeks to have their first appointment.
For now just make sure you're taking a multivitamin and you'll be fine. I'm almost twelve weeks and I still can't take my prenatals. They just make my morning sickness worse. I take a chewable multivitamin and an extra folic acid and my doctor said that's fine.
Hope its a happy healthy nine months for you!

Hi and congrats. I think most drs. have you wait a few weeks before coming in for the first appointment. I know my did and many others on here mentioned it as well.
Happy and healthy 9 months!

My dr had us wait 2 weeks too, it's normal. I was on prenatals though for a few months already. Are you taking vitamins?

It is perfectly normal for a doctor not to see a new preggo til 8-10 weeks. My doctor told me that unless you have m/c a regular old HPT is fine. And they never even did a blood test with me, just a pee test.
Congrats to the OP!

DS was my first (and probably only pregnancy) but I just wanted to say something so the newest preggos don't get nervous that the dr hasn't seen them yet
