Question

i am 4 weeks preg. and the dr said he wont see me till im 8 weeks along. does this sound right to you guys? but im going to call tomorrow and set up the appointment so i dont have to wait any longer than nesessary. (sp?) thanks.

Answer 1

sounds right to me. At 8 weeks they will be able to see the heartbeat (not hear it yet though) on the ultrasound. Most first appointments are around 8 weeks or so. This is also the best time to date your pregnancy. Through ultrasound, thy can give you a very specific date as to when yo conceived your baby, therefore you will knwo exactly how far along you are...no guessing or anything (incase you didnt knwo when you ovulated, etc).

Good luck and congrats.

Answer 2

It sounds like a doctor who certainly doesn't believe in wasting any time. Some doctors don't believe in seeing patients unless they're further along so they can get all the details right, as the ultrasound is most likely to show the development and heartbeat of the fetus at that time.
However, thats not a great approach, as each body is unique and some people may require some extra care in the beginning to ensure a healthy growth of the fetus.
I went to the doctor as soon as I found out - and I was 5 weeks along. The ultrasound showed a gestational sac with a yolk sac and she gave me some medication and asked me to come back in a week's time. At 6 weeks, we could hear the fetal heartbeat. By the time I was 8 weeks, she had everything in order for me - and I got all the care I needed for the starting months.

A lot of doctors also discuss precautions and a good diet plan with their patients. I think you should get an appointment soon enough as knowing all the details will help you get through a healthy pregnancy.

Goof Luck!

Answer 3

No, it doesn't sound right at all. I have 4 children, youngest is 6 months. When I did a home test and it was positive, I called my midwife and scheduled an appointment. I saw her when I was at about six weeks, but my first appointment was with a nurse. She went over everything and gave me my prescription for prenatal vitamins. I think I would be finding another place to go. I personally don't care for doctors when it comes to babies unless there is a major problem with you and baby. I had a BAD experience with an OB my first pregnancy and have used midwives ever since.

Answer 4

That's a little strange to me. I know you go in once a month, and then every two weeks, and then once a week at the end. When I was pregnant, after confirmed by the doctor, he had me make an appointment for the same month.

Answer 5

This all depends on if you,ve already had an internal exam and blood work and all is well. 8 weeks is for drs to play it safe, but you could have a sonagram as early as 3weeks. Only you know your circumstances

Answer 6

that sounds right to me. most doctors don't want to see you until after 8 weeks. i didn't have my first appointment until 9 weeks.

Answer 7

That sounds normal for a lot of doctors. Mine said come in right away, but from other people that I have talked to that's really not the norm.

Answer 8

yes that does sound right, most drs wait until 8 weeks.

Answer 9

well no that doesnt sound right at all, when you find out your pregnant is when you need to make a app right away so they can get you on prenatel pills and find out how far you really are and do a pap and urine test, so if i was you id go to another doctor.

Answer 10

could be...sometimes they see you just to confirm the pregnancy, but often they want to wait a little to be sure they aren't going to cause trouble in your pregnancy.....the first thing they should do at that appointment is your pap and blood tests though...if you aren't sure, question them, remember it's your body and your baby, and there are other doctors :)
