Unfortunately this past Dec. my husband and I had a miscarriage due to a blighted ovum. I just recently took 2 pregnancy tests both came up positive. Based upon my last LMP and when I ovulated I’m barely 5 weeks. Should I wait to call my OBGYN to schedule an appt. when I’m further along or b/c I had a prior miscarriage do they usually want to see you right away…???????

Not to sound insensitive, but most docs don't want to see you until you are at least 8 weeks along, because so many pregnancies terminate naturally. If you are going to miscarry early on in the pregnancy, going to the doctor even today won't really make a difference.
What you CAN do is make sure you are eating right, and call them and have them fax a prescription for a good prenatal vitamin to your pharmacy NOW.
Good luck! Hope this one will be your little miracle!

Call your doctor and make an appointment. If a miscarriage occurs due to circumstances like yours, they're going to want to take every precaution to make sure you're baby is healthy this time. Get in there!!!! I had a miscarriage last September, and in January i found out I was pregnant again. The doctor did a level 1 ultrasound to find a heartbeat, and ran additional tests to make sure the fetus was strong and healthy. Good luck to you!!!

to ease your mind, call the doc.
Realistically, there is nothing they can do to your pregnancy. DO NOT get an ultrasound until you are at least 7 weeks. It is very common not to see a baby before that, and you don't want to go through unnecessary anguish. Hope everything goes well and congrats!

I would go in ASAP. Because the earlier you begin going to the doctor and taking care of yourself, the better chances you have of the baby surviving.
I'm very sorry to hear about your past happenings, but good luck to you and I'm sure everything will work out great!

Unless your last pregnancy ended in the second or third trimester- or you have had three or more miscarriages- you are not high risk and you can carry on as normal.

I think you should call now, let them decide when you should come in. Besides if you wait to call you could hve to wait to get an appointment. I know how busy my doctors office is. Good Luck

I would suggest giving them a call, it won't do any harm and they may want to see you either way just to put your mind at rest. Congratulations! :0)
