First Drs appointment

I have my first drs appointment tomorrow. I'm currently 6 weeks and 3 days tomorrow. What should I expect? Do I have a sonogram and will I be able to hear the heartbeat? So excited, but a little nervous at the same time TIA

Re: First Drs appointment

Aww you will be in love! When I had my 6 week, we were able to see the baby and see and hear the heartbeat. It was amazing!!

Re: First Drs appointment

at my 6w2d appointment i saw (but did not hear) the heartbeat. it's so cool, enjoy!!!

Re: First Drs appointment

congrats!
my first appt was a big disappointment- not going to lie. she confirmed the pregnancy and i went for blood work but i had to schedule a separate appt for a sono b/c my periods are very irregular and she wanted to be sure of how far long i was and my due date. i understood but i was so disappointed. so we didn't see/hear anything until 8 weeks nor did i get a due date until then either.

Re: First Drs appointment

The OB wouldn't even let me come in until they thought I was at least 8 weeks along. I went to my GP when I got my BFP and they did a blood test to confirm the pregnancy and try to date me (I had long irregular cycles, so they used the beta # to give me an estimate of how far along I was). The 8 week appointment involved taking a bunch of blood, a yearly exam (pap), and a sono where we saw the baby and heard the hb. They also measured the baby on the sono to estimate a due date for me (which, apparently was DEAD-ON, as my daughter was born exactly 1 day early).

Every doctor's office is different, though, so yours may do for you at 6 weeks what mine did at 8. Or they may just take some blood to confirm and not do a sono. I know my OB's office only does 3 sonos the ENTIRE PREGNANCY unless there are complications.

Re: First Drs appointment

My first appointment is tomorrow as well and I'm not sure what to expect...last time around they did do a sono and I was only 7 wks 4 days but they only did it because they were concerned it may have been an tubal pregnancy, otherwise they would have made me wait until 8 wks. This time around if you go by my last period I'll be 7 wk 6 d tomorrow but my cycles are so irregular that I think I'm only 5 wk 2 days if I've pinpointed correctly the day I think we conceived. So I am hoping for the sono and a real due date so I can stop wondering...but they may make me wait

Re: First Drs appointment

we had our first appointment last week and i was exactly the same amount along as you! they did an internal sonogram and we could only see the heartbeat. we also got some pictures to take home. the tech took some measurements and told us the due date. it was quick and painless and exciting!

Re: First Drs appointment

Thank you sooo much ladies....definitely look forward to the visit and am hoping to see some thing good Will update you all tomorrow

Re: First Drs appointment

i went for a sono i believe at 6w6d and i saw but didnt hear the sono

good luck
