I called to make my first appointment and they set it up for September 5th. I'm just over 5 weeks along with my first baby.

They like to start seeing you around 8 weeks. You should already be taking prenatal vitamins though. They are sold over the counter. Congratulations.

Did you make sure to tell them that it was for a first pregnancy exam? I would call back and see if they can get you in sooner. 5 weeks is now, but Sept 5th is is still 4 weeks away......I think you should go sooner.......start by getting over the counter pre natal vitamins and start taking one each day ( with food helps, they can be rather stomach upsetting) and then Go get a book called " what to expect when you are expecting". It's the pregnancy bible and will help with all these questions. It's excellent in describing all of these little things that worry moms and help distinguish when something is "normal" or not.
Good Luck!

I called my OB/GYN when I found out I was pregnant and they set up an appointment for me when I would have been about 8 weeks along.

Sounds about right depending where your at and how busy it is. My first one i had midwifes and they were swamped It took me until my 17th week to get into them.
My second and the one i am currently pregnant with i live in a smaller town and got in about 6 weeks ish with both of them.
If your insurance covers the prenatal vitamins you can call their office and I am sure call you in a prescription until your first appointment. Or you can take 2 children's vitamins or normal vitamins.
Congtrats to ya and GL!!!!

It relies upon on the place of work- yet mine delivered me in as quickly as i found out i exchange into pregnant ( 6 weeks) notwithstanding i did no longer meet with the Dr. I met with the OB nurse and all she did exchange into inquire from me own questions and deliver me to the lab for all my blood artwork--they do no longer convey you lower back till you're 10-12 weeks pregnant to fulfill the Dr. They try this b/c there isnt lots they are able to do for you on the very beginning up, they wouldnt additionally be waiting to %. up a heartbeat with a dopplar & they decide for the outcomes to your blood artwork so the DR can see it too. :) stable luc ok!! :)

You should get an appointment as soon as possible. If that is the soonest you can get in then just be sure to take some prenatal vitamins and start taking good care of yourself, it will be fine.

I think that's about normal. My OB/GYN saw me at 6 weeks for both my children.
