When to call the doctor

I'm probably only 4 weeks pregnant with DC #2 and i don't remember when to call the doctor. I know they're always busy so I don't know if I should wait to call or call now and get a later appointment.

Re: When to call the doctor

the first apt is normally around 7-8 weeks. I would call and just set up an apt for about that time if your doctor is very busy I would call soon.

Re: When to call the doctor

I called as soon as I was officially late. A lot of OB's don't see patients until at least 8 weeks, but you might as well set up your appt.

I called the day after I got my BFP on a digital. I was 3 weeks that day. They scheduled me at 8 weeks but scheduling ahead let me pick any time I wanted.

When to call the doctor

I called last Monday (got my BFP on Sunday). They asked when the date of last period was and chose the week I needed to come in.

I called and am set to go the week before Mother's Day. Contemplating telling our moms on Mother's Day? Then the rest of our family at 12 weeks.
